Wallet gone, what to do? Those affected should heed three tips. If the bank card is lost or even stolen in this context, you should have it blocked immediately at the bank and, in the event of theft, report the loss to the police.

The German embassy or a German consulate is the contact person abroad. They issue a replacement document. If money is debited, you can easily cancel the direct debit within six weeks. If your wallet is lost, ask at the lost property office to find out whether the wallet has been handed in and start a search request.
