The Lost and Found office also establishes loss certificates, as well for lost identity documents.

For loss certificates, please come to our counters at least a quarter of an hour before our closing, ie from 8 am to 11:45 am and from 1:30 pm to 3:45 pm.

Have you found an item belonging to someone else?

You can drop it off at the Lost and Found office (5, rue des Glacis-de-Rive - 1207 Geneva) during our opening hours or in the mailbox, accessible and secured 24/7. You also have the possibility to bring it to any police station.

If you found it in a TPG vehicle (Geneva Public Transport), please give it to the driver
