Problem and solution

Your Item Has Been Found. What Happens Next?

Finding your item is only the first step. Many travellers have already left Turkey and cannot return to Istanbul Airport personally. Ana Kurye can assist with the next stage of Istanbul Airport Lost and Found support by coordinating the authorization, collecting the item from the relevant office, checking the handover documents, arranging packing and delivering the item in Turkey or to a suitable international shipping provider.

Authorization Assistance

We review the required documents before a courier is assigned.

Airport Collection

Collection is attempted only after the relevant office confirms the release process.

Packing and Handover

Eligible items can be packed or handed to a selected carrier when available.

Domestic or Worldwide Delivery

Delivery options depend on item type, destination and carrier rules.

Istanbul Airport Lost & Found Offices and Next Steps

The correct collection process depends on where the item is held. IGA Lost & Found, Turkish Airlines Lost Property and airline baggage tracing are different processes, so we review each case individually before confirming the service.

If your checked baggage did not arrive on the carousel, contact your airline or baggage tracing service first. Ana Kurye's lost property service is primarily for items already located or held by an airport or airline Lost & Found office.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay before you collect my lost item?

No. Ana Kurye does not require its service fee before collecting your lost property from the airport. We confirm the service quote and terms with you in advance. After successful collection, we send you confirmation so you can complete payment before shipping. Any exceptional third-party charges are explained in advance.

How do I contact Istanbul Airport Lost and Found?

Contact the relevant airport, airline or baggage office directly first. Ana Kurye is a private courier assistance service and can review pickup only after the item is located and release to a representative is permitted.

What is the difference between IGA Lost and Found and Turkish Airlines Lost and Found?

IGA Lost and Found usually handles items found in airport terminal areas, while Turkish Airlines Lost and Found handles items connected with Turkish Airlines flights or baggage processes. The correct office depends on where the item was lost or registered.

Can someone collect my lost property from Istanbul Airport for me?

Yes, this may be possible if the holding office accepts an authorized representative and the required documents are provided before pickup.

Can Ana Kurye collect my phone from Istanbul Airport?

We can review phone pickup cases and explain the authorization, identification and shipping requirements. Phones with batteries may be subject to carrier restrictions.

Can someone collect my item after I leave Turkey?

Yes, this may be possible with the right authorization, identification documents and office approval.

What documents are needed to collect lost property from Istanbul Airport?

Usually a passport or ID copy, reference number, item description, authorization letter and office confirmation are requested. Requirements vary by case and by the holding office.

Can lost property from Istanbul Airport be shipped internationally?

Eligible items can be prepared for international shipping after pickup, but carrier rules, customs, batteries, liquids, medicines and destination restrictions must be reviewed first.

What if my checked baggage did not arrive on the carousel?

That is usually an airline baggage tracing or delayed baggage case, not a normal lost property pickup case. Contact your airline first and use Ana Kurye only after an item is located and release instructions are clear.

Can you deliver my item to a hotel in Istanbul?

Yes, collected items can usually be delivered to hotels, residences, offices or agreed meeting points in Istanbul.

Can you collect items from the international airside office?

Airside collection procedures vary. We review the office instructions before confirming whether the service is possible.

Can you collect a passport?

Passport collection may be possible only when the relevant office allows release to an authorized representative and the required documents are accepted.

How much does the service cost?

Pricing depends on the pickup process, waiting time, item type, packing, domestic delivery and international shipping charges if needed.

Are airport storage or customs fees included?

Third-party airport, notary, consular or customs charges are separate from our service fee. Any mandatory charges are explained and agreed before work starts. Packing and carrier costs are specified in the written quote.

How long does the process take?

Timing depends on office response, authorization, courier availability, traffic, packing and carrier acceptance.

Can you use DHL, FedEx, UPS or PTT?

Shipping may be arranged through suitable domestic or international carriers depending on item eligibility, destination and customer preference.

Can every item be shipped abroad?

No. Shipping depends on item type, carrier rules, destination country regulations, customs requirements and safety restrictions.

Are batteries, liquids or medicines accepted?

These items may require additional checks or may not be eligible for shipment. Carrier and customs rules apply.

Are you the official Istanbul Airport Lost Property Office?

No. We are an independent private collection, courier and shipping service operated by Ana Kurye. We do not find or register lost items, and we are not affiliated with Istanbul Airport, iGA, Turkish Airlines, any airline or any official Lost Property Office. We assist after the item has been located and the relevant office confirms that collection by an authorized representative is permitted.

What happens if the office refuses to release the item?

If release is refused, we explain the response and possible next steps. Collection cannot proceed without the relevant office approval.
