Hi @KnT,
As @Fluxpavillion mentioned, you won't need to apply for a new TFN because you lost yours. There's a number of ways you can go about finding your TFN.
If you've got a myGov account linked with the ATO you can find it on there in your profile (In the ATO page). If you've lodged a tax return before it'll be on your notice of assessment that we've sent you. You can also find it on payment summaries from an employer or on a superannuation account statement.
