Lost Article Report

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 01

:

Why has this application been developed?

Answer

:

Rajasthan Police has consistently been adopting new methodologies and technologies to enhance its service delivery capacity. Our endeavour has been to identify areas where newer means can help in reducing public inconvenience.
Lodging a police report about a lost document becomes indispensable where it is a prerequisite for reissue of the lost document e.g. a passport.
Such losses are very often detected by victims after a gap of time and even the exact place and time of loss may also not be known to them. In particular, persons travelling through Rajasthan or tourists rarely find it possible to go back to the place where the article or document may have been lost and lodge a report in the Police Station for getting a new document issued.
Therefore Rajasthan Police has decided to enable web based reporting of such lost/missing articles without the need to go to a police station. This report can be lodged from anywhere in the world and a printable digitally generated acknowledgement report is instantaneously sent in response to the complainant.
