Questions and answers about the SBB Lost and Found Service.

Have you lost something on the train or at the station? Here you can find all the answers to frequently asked questions about the SBB Lost and Found Service – SBB’s Lost and Found Office.

Tip: Have you lost an item at a staffed station? Or on an SBB train with passenger attendants, which will still be travelling for at least another 30 minutes? Then we recommend making an express search request (cost: CHF 75 including return fee).

You will be notified of the search status by e-mail or SMS within four hours – or as soon as your item is ready for collection.

    Dear all, I lost my beige coat today 10.09. in train IC 1 from Zürich to Geneva, leaving Zürich at 10:32 and arriving in Geneva at 13:25 in second class downstairs. Since it has my keys inside I’d be eager to get it back. Am I lucky and somebody found it? Thanks
