My passport was stolen while I am abroad, should I inform Interactive Brokers?
Unfortunately my passport was stolen together with my (paper) notebook while I am on holidays abroad. Of course I reported this to the local police and my embassy. Now I am not sure if (and how) I should inform Interactive Brokers about this theft because I am afraid the thieves could use my passport and information from my notebook for hacking my accounts via social engineering and identity theft. The local police thinks this is not necessary and my embassy confirmed that my stolen passport will be invalid yet I don’t know if banks and brokers can check if a passport is still valid. What would you do?
