Thanks a lot for your reply. I just have to figure out what my name is in katakana, and that's not too difficult.

I had a montly pass with pasmo but i think to remember i registered it on the machine. I put my name in english and my phone number.
When you lose it you can issue a new one and even the money left on the card will be reissued. I got my Suica with a route and name registered stolen with my wallet and i could just get it back from the office. I had to show my passport and thats it. Even the 2000 yen i had left on it besides the monthly route was restored.
