What happens to lost property?
If you are looking for lost property
You can check online whether lost property has been turned in to the police based on the type of item and the location and date it was lost (available in Japanese only).
However, it may take time for found property to be listed in our database. For an immediate update, contact the nearest police station or the one responsible for the area where you lost it.
If you’ve been informed that your property was found

Make sure that you go to the correct office with required documents.
You can pick up your property during service hours: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except national holidays and December 29 - January 3).
If you’ve been contacted by someone other than the police
As for a found bank/credit card or mobile phone, the card issuer or mobile phone carrier will contact the holder/subscriber upon notification from the police.
In that case, check with them which police station keeps it as well as its report number to make sure you visit the correct office during service hours.
To claim a lost mobile phone, its SIM card number or serial number is also required.
Documentation required to claim property
- Valid identification (e.g., driver’s license, health insurance card, passport, or Residence Card);
- Written notice if notified in writing; and
- Letter of Authorization from the owner if someone else is to pick up the property (A family member living with the owner does not need to be authorized in writing except when claiming mobile phones).
