How it works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where you lost it in Wellington, and any details that matter. A phone, a wallet, a ring, a pet, a set of keys, whatever it is.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Wellington Police Department, City Hall, the Wellington Humane Society if it's a pet, and relevant local Facebook groups and community channels. We do the legwork so you don't have to.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new found items, local posts, and community announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, without having to refresh sites or check groups every day.
Where to report a lost item in Wellington
Your essential local resources
Wellington Police Department
The police hold found items and take reports of lost property. They'll help identify which precinct covers your loss location and guide you through the claim process. Call or visit in person to describe what you lost and what to expect when someone brings it in.
City of Wellington
City Hall can connect you with local lost and found services and coordinate with municipal departments. If your loss happened on city property or in a public building, they can guide you to the right desk or officer.
Wellington Municipal Airport
If you lost something at the airport or on airport grounds, contact the airport directly. They maintain their own lost and found and can tell you the status of your item and how to claim it.
Lost pet?
The Wellington Humane Society and Animal Control are your first stop for a lost cat, dog, or other pet. They also monitor local lost pet networks. The sooner you report, the sooner the community can help. If this is a pet, file a priority lost pet report.

One report covers all the right channels in Wellington, and your report doesn't just sit on a desk, it stays live and automatically matches against new posts and found items for months. Once you submit, you can breathe, the team takes it from there.
