This is a reference format, not legal advice. Whether you also need a police complaint/FIR, and the required stamp paper value, vary by document type, state, and issuing authority. Always check the current duplicate-request process for your specific document first.
When You Need This
Your Driving Licence, PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, or another ID card is lost, misplaced, or stolen, and you're applying for a duplicate - most issuing authorities ask for a notarized affidavit (sometimes alongside a police complaint) as part of the duplicate-issuance process.

Answer a few quick questions and we'll generate a properly worded affidavit below - typed straight into the document, no leftover "[document name]"-style placeholders when you print.
Click anywhere in the document above to fine-tune the wording before printing - the verification/notary date and place are left blank on purpose, since those are only decided when you're at the notary's office.
Check whether your issuing authority also wants a police complaint/FIR copy alongside this affidavit.
Buy non-judicial stamp paper of the value required by your notary or the issuing authority - this varies by state.
Sign it in front of a Notary Public - do not sign it beforehand.
Submit along with your duplicate-document application and any other required proof of identity.
Frequently Asked Questions
When your Driving Licence, PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, or another ID card is lost, misplaced, or stolen, and you're applying for a duplicate - most issuing authorities (RTO, NSDL/UTIITSL for PAN, UIDAI for Aadhaar, etc.) ask for a notarized affidavit or a police complaint/FIR copy as part of the duplicate-issuance process.
This depends on the document and the issuing authority - some accept just this affidavit, others (especially for a lost Aadhaar or PAN in certain cases) ask for a police complaint/FIR copy or an online lost-report acknowledgement as well. Check your specific issuing authority's current duplicate-request process.
The core affidavit wording is the same for any lost ID - what changes is the document type and number. This generator adapts the wording automatically based on what you select, so you don't need a separate page for each document.
This varies by state and by issuing authority - commonly Rs. 10-100 non-judicial stamp paper is used for lost-document affidavits. Some authorities also accept a plain self-declaration. Check with your notary or the specific issuing authority before submitting.
