After the identity card is lost, according to the laws of our country, the individual should report the case to the public security organ in time and reissue a new identity card. Individuals should actively cooperate with the investigation of public security organs and provide relevant evidence when their identity cards are fraudulently used by others to commit crimes.

In the way of safeguarding rights, individuals can protect their rights and interests by suing and applying for criminal incidental civil compensation. In addition, individuals can consult lawyers and seek legal aid and professional guidance to ensure that their rights and interests are effectively protected. To sum up, after the ID card is lost, individuals should take timely actions to safeguard their rights and interests according to law.
