1. Delhi Police Lost Report Online

If you have lost or misplaced an article or document in Delhi, you can submit a Lost Article/Document Report online. Common examples include Aadhaar Cards, PAN Cards, driving licences, passports, wallets, identity cards, educational certificates, mark sheets and degrees.

The Lost/Found system asks for the complainant's details and information about the lost article, including the place, date and approximate time of loss and a description of the article.

Delhi Police Lost/Found Portal: lostfound.delhipolice.gov.in

Lost Report is not an FIR. Delhi Police states that the Lost Report application is for reporting an article/document lost in Delhi and is not a subject matter for enquiry or investigation. If the loss is due to theft or another crime, the appropriate police reporting facility should be used.

2. Delhi Police e-FIR for Motor Vehicle Theft

Delhi Police provides a dedicated Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR service for eligible vehicle theft cases. The service is intended to facilitate online registration of FIRs in automobile theft cases and related investigation processes.

The service can be accessed through the official Delhi Police website under the Motor Vehicle Theft/e-FIR services.

Information to Keep Ready

Vehicle registration number
Make and model
Chassis number, if available
Engine number, if available
Date and approximate time of theft
Place where the vehicle was parked
Owner's details and contact information
Insurance details, where relevant
Other information that may assist the police

After registration, retain the FIR/reference details and use the official Delhi Police services to track or retrieve available records.

3. Delhi Police Property Theft e-FIR

Delhi Police also provides an online Theft e-FIR/Property Theft e-FIR facility for eligible property theft cases. The property theft system enables complainants to register eligible theft cases online and obtain the FIR copy through the online system where available.

Property Theft / Theft e-FIR Portal: propertytheft.delhipolice.gov.in

The property theft service distinguishes between a lost/misplaced article and stolen property. Do not use a Lost Report simply because it is easier when the facts actually indicate theft.

4. Online Complaint to Delhi Police

Not every matter falls within the Lost Report or specialised e-FIR services. Delhi Police also provides an online Complaint Lodging service through its official website.

Select the service appropriate to the nature of the incident. For a serious, ongoing or emergency situation, an online form should not be treated as a substitute for immediate police assistance.

5. Difference Between Lost Report, Complaint and FIR

Type	When to use it	Investigation
Lost Report	Article/document is lost or misplaced	Normally no investigation under the Lost Report application
Theft e-FIR	Eligible property theft	FIR and investigation
Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR	Eligible motor vehicle theft	FIR and investigation
Online Complaint	Other matters requiring police attention	Depends on the nature of the complaint and applicable law
Emergency Assistance	Immediate danger, ongoing crime or urgent police assistance	Contact police immediately

The distinction is important because a Lost Report is expressly not an FIR and is not intended to initiate a police investigation.

6. Delhi Police FIR Copy Online

Delhi Police provides a View FIR facility through its official website. The service includes options for viewing FIRs relating to property theft and motor vehicle theft, subject to the availability and applicable restrictions of the system.

7. Lost or Stolen Mobile Phone

If a mobile phone is lost or stolen, preserve its IMEI number, mobile number, make/model and other identifying information.

Delhi Police provides online services relating to missing/stolen mobile phones. Its police data system also provides facilities for searching missing mobile records using information such as the mobile number, IMEI number and FIR/DD/GD details, where applicable.

8. What Should You Do if the Article Was Stolen?

If you know or reasonably believe that an article was stolen, do not simply file a Lost Report.

Use the appropriate Theft e-FIR facility if the case is eligible.
Alternatively, lodge a complaint with the police or approach the appropriate police station.
For vehicle theft, use the Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR facility.
Preserve purchase bills, serial numbers, photographs and identifying documents.
Inform the insurance company where an insurance claim may arise.
Keep the FIR/report number and supporting documents safely.

Remember: A Lost Report should not be used where the facts actually indicate theft or another crime.

9. Emergency Police Assistance

Online reporting should not be relied upon where immediate police intervention is required. Delhi Police currently lists 112 as the Emergency Response Support System number and 1930 for cyber complaints. Check the official Delhi Police website for the latest emergency and specialised helpline information.

10. Important Points Before Filing an Online Report

Enter your name and contact details correctly.

Provide the correct place where the article was lost or stolen.
Give identifying details such as serial number, IMEI, registration number or document number where appropriate.
Do not make a false complaint or provide incorrect information.
Save the acknowledgement, report number or FIR number after submission.
Do not file a Lost Report when the facts actually indicate theft or another crime.
For an emergency or serious offence, contact the police immediately rather than waiting for an online response.
