Replacement BRP - police report

[Annieng]

Hi, do you need to report to the police after you've lost a wallet that had your BRP card in it?

If you dont and therefore have no crime ref number, do they still consider your application for a replacement of the BRP card?

The police won't record a stolen BRP specifically.
