Stolen and lost documents are logged in an international data base. I have lost my ID a few years ago. Every now and then I am being asked at borders whether I have found it or it was still lost.
Banks check during the KYC process whether the document ID is on this blacklist. If yes, authorities are contacted.
Hence, once compromised/lost, apply for a new one and tell them what happened with your old one.
- Nextgrid 6y agoIn my experience IDs are checked very informally by most companies such as utilities, etc. GDPR access requests usually require a proof of identity and I very much doubt they are checked beyond the details on them matching the account so it can be yet another vector for stealing more data based on the passport. Banks are probably the only place where they may be checked against s lost/stolen DB but it won't prevent you getting your SIM & phone number taken over because someone impersonated you to your mobile carrier.
