# Managing Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Cards

> Learn best practices for managing lost, stolen, or damaged payment cards and digital wallet tokens.

You might need to limit, suspend, terminate and reissue, or replace a card if it is lost, damaged, or stolen. You can perform these actions on physical and virtual cards, as well as on any digital wallet tokens sourced from the affected card.

Note that the state of any digital wallet token is independent from the state of its source card and independent from all other digital wallet tokens, even if they share the same source card. For example, in order to suspend a card and two digital wallet tokens sourced from that card (say, one provisioned to a phone and one to a laptop), you would make three API calls — one for the card and one for each digital wallet token.

If a card is lost or stolen, you should reissue the card with a new primary account number (PAN).

To reissue a card with a new PAN, and to move the PIN and digital wallet tokens from the old card to the new card, send a `POST` request to the `/cards` endpoint.
In the request, include the card's `token` field value in the `new_pan_from_card_token` field.
The old PAN is automatically terminated when the card is reissued with a new PAN.
Associated digital wallet tokens are not terminated.

The PIN from the source card is copied to the reissued card by default.
If you do not want to copy the PIN, set the `copy_pin_from_source_card` field to `false`.
All digital wallet tokens associated with the lost or stolen card are reassigned to the reissued card, which eliminates the need to terminate the tokens and then provision new ones.
The digital wallet tokens are reassigned only when the reissued card is activated.

To terminate a digital wallet token, send a `POST` request to the `/digitalwallettokentransitions` endpoint and set the `state` field to `TERMINATED`.

If a card is damaged, replace the card. A replaced card has the same PAN as the old card but a new CVV2 and expiration date. The damaged card does not need to be suspended or terminated immediately.

To replace a damaged card, send a `POST` request to the `/cards` endpoint and set the `reissue_pan_from_card_token` field to the value of the damaged card's `token` field.
This action creates a new card with the same PAN as the damaged card but with a new CVV2 and new expiration date.
All associated digital wallet tokens are reassigned to the new card when it is activated.
