How it Works
A Leader in Lost & Found Services
If your property is ever lost or misplaced, anyone who finds it can enter your Travel Sentry ID on the TS ID website.
The system securely connects the finder with you, without revealing your personal details.
Once your item is reported, you’ll receive a text (SMS) and/or email with information about where your item was found and how to recover it.
Benefits of Using Travel Sentry ID for Travellers
Using a Travel Sentry ID gives travellers peace of mind by increasing the chances of being reunited with lost luggage or personal items. Each travel ID is unique and securely linked to your contact details, allowing finders to report items without accessing your private information.
Key benefits include:
- Peace of mind while travelling
Your travel ID helps ensure lost luggage, backpacks, or valuables can be identified and returned quickly.
- Privacy-first protection
Your name, email address, and phone number are never displayed on your belongings, contact details are shared securely through the Travel Sentry system.
- Easy to use, anywhere in the world
Anyone who finds your item can enter your Travel Sentry ID online in seconds, with no app or special equipment required.
- Free, lifetime registration
Once registered, your Travel Sentry ID remains active for life with no ongoing fees or subscriptions.
- Works across multiple travel items
Use the same travel ID on luggage tags, backpacks, electronics, and other personal belongings.

Registering your Travel Sentry ID is quick, simple, and free. Once registered, your travel ID can be used immediately to help recover lost items.
