Lost Marksheet Affidavit Format

Reference format · Last reviewed September 2026

This is a reference format, not legal advice. Exact wording, required stamp paper value, and whether a police report is needed first, all vary by board, university, and state. Confirm current requirements with your notary or the concerned institution before relying on this.

When You Need This

If your original marksheet or certificate has been lost, stolen, damaged beyond use, or destroyed, most boards and universities require a notarized affidavit declaring the loss and the circumstances, before they will process and issue a duplicate copy.

Some boards/universities also require a police FIR or General Diary (GD) entry reporting the loss before they'll accept this affidavit - check your specific institution's duplicate-marksheet procedure first, since filing that late means redoing paperwork.

Enter Your Details

Answer a few quick questions and we'll generate the properly worded affidavit below - typed straight into the document, no leftover "[your full name]"-style instructions when you print.

Printing on your stamp paper: This format is designed to print cleanly on plain A4. If you're printing directly onto purchased judicial/e-stamp paper (commonly Rs. 10-100 depending on your state and institution), do a test print on plain paper first and hold it against your stamp paper to check the text doesn't overlap any pre-printed header - printers and stamp paper layouts vary.

How to Use This Format

  • Check with your board/university whether a police FIR or GD entry is required before this affidavit - do that first if so.
  • Confirm the required stamp paper value with your notary or the institution.
  • Sign it in front of a Notary Public - do not sign it beforehand.
  • Carry a valid ID proof and, if you have one, a photocopy of the lost document (old photocopies, admit card, or any record showing your roll number) when visiting the notary.

Frequently Asked Questions

When your original marksheet or certificate is lost, stolen, damaged beyond use, or destroyed, and your board or university requires a sworn affidavit declaring the loss before they'll issue a duplicate copy.
It depends on your board or university - some accept just the affidavit, while others require a police FIR or a General Diary (GD) entry reporting the loss before they will process a duplicate marksheet request. Confirm this requirement with your specific board/university first, since redoing the affidavit after filing a late police report wastes time.
There is no single stamp-paper value used across all boards and universities - it varies by state and by institution. Confirm the exact value with your notary or the concerned board/university before buying stamp paper.
This varies significantly by board and university - some process duplicate marksheet requests in a couple of weeks, others take considerably longer. Check your specific board or university's stated processing time, since it isn't standard nationally.
