Lost wallet or purse — immediate steps

The first moves to make when your wallet or purse goes missing — cards, ID, and protecting yourself from fraud.

A lost wallet or purse in Orlando means two jobs at once: stopping fraud and replacing what's gone. The first hour matters most.

Freeze your cards. Open each bank's app and freeze or cancel every debit and credit card. Most apps let you lock a card instantly and order a replacement.
Check for unfamiliar activity. Review recent transactions and report anything you didn't make.
Protect your identity. If ID was inside, take steps to guard against identity theft and consider a fraud alert or protective registration.
Replace your ID and licence. Start replacements for your driver's licence or ID card through the relevant authority for your area.
Retrace and report. Contact the last places you visited in Orlando and report the loss to the police non-emergency line if it may have been stolen.
Post a listing. Add a lost-wallet listing for Orlando — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

I lost a black leather travel pouch while taking a taxi from the Orlando Airport to my hotel. It contained my passport, a couple of credit cards, and some cash. I last remember having it in the taxi, but I didn't see it when I got to the hotel. I’m really anxious about getting my passport replaced, so if anyone finds it, please reach out!
