My purse was lost or stolen last night ... had to cancel cards etc.?

I stupidly lost my purse last night, whether i misplaced it or it was stolen ... it doesn't really matter, basically it's gone.
The three most important things that I had in there were my student account card, my other account card and my drivers licence.
I'm going to drive to the place tomorrow and ask the pub and bar whether it was handed in (hoping for a miracle there really) but if it's not there, i'll need to do what?
Cancel the cards? What information do the banks need to know? Account number? Anything else?
And what about the drivers licence people? Something from my counterpart licence?
Thank you!
(the complete list of categories is not showing, it's going to have to go in a random one).

Sorry to hear about it but you should have cancelled all the cards as soon as you found you'd lost the purse by ringing the emergency numbers.
You should also have reported it to the police immediately.

The police will give you details of what to do and how, but you shouldn't wait until you go back to the pub, thieves don't!

• hi there,
  well firstly , you should report them stolen as fast as possible , i would recommend that you did it now ,as it could be being used already(hopefully not)
  On the back of the credit cards and on your bills it will have an emergency hotline number to phone.
  You will have to say that you have just realised they have gone to help your case . ie , better not to tell them you knew they were stolen a while ago..You hopefully should be fine on that one ,especially if you hold insurance, in case of theft)
  They will ask you on the hotline for your name adress and probably a few security questions that you told them when you took out the account , like your mums maiden name etc..
  
  For your driving licence , if you have your counterpart you will have nothing to worry about- they will know all about who you are from a simple number that they will ask you for...once i lost all my driving docs and had to tell them the date and place i passed my test, which was 30 years ago , so not quite so simple..
  Sad and horrible and big nuicance when we have these accidents or losses but i shouldnt worry much about it. thers not much you can do , except let them know what ive said soon as poss. Before you know it it`ll all be back with you.
