How ReportLost works in Jordan
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and upload a photo if you have one. We gather all the details in one place.
We route it to the right places
We send your report to the Jordan Police Department, contact City Hall on your behalf, and make sure local pet networks are notified if you've lost a cat or dog. No need to make multiple calls.
Your report keeps searching for matches
While you move on, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found item posts, local community groups, and pet networks. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not checking Facebook groups every hour.

Getting your report in sooner makes a real difference
The first few hours and days after losing something are crucial. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, we take over the routing and the ongoing search, so you can focus on retracing your steps and staying calm. Many items that were thought lost forever have been reunited with their owners because a timely report caught the right person's attention.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Jordan, whether it's a wallet at a local business, a phone on the street, or a beloved pet, means scrambling to contact the police, the city, community pages, and animal rescues all at once. Each agency has its own process, timelines vary, and it's easy to fall through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report goes to the Jordan Police Department, City Hall, and the local networks that matter. Then your report keeps working for you around the clock, comparing new found item reports and posts against your description. You describe what you lost once, and we make sure the right people know about it, while you avoid the exhaustion of daily searches.

Do I need to file a police report if I lose a personal item like a wallet or phone?
While not always required, filing a report with the Jordan Police Department creates an official record and puts your item in their system. If someone finds it and turns it in, the police can contact you. It also documents the loss, which can be helpful for insurance or financial fraud prevention.
What makes ReportLost different from just posting on Facebook or calling the police myself?
ReportLost handles the routing for you in one go, so you're not making multiple calls or figuring out which agency to contact. More importantly, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match across found item posts and community networks automatically for your entire search period (12 months). You describe your loss once, and we continue matching it against new posts and alerts, so you're not checking Facebook groups or calling every week.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We work alongside official channels like the Jordan Police Department and local animal control, making it easier for you to get your report to all the right places at once. We don't replace official reporting, we enhance it by automating the distribution and maintaining an active search for matches over time.
