Passport Lost/Damaged Affidavit Format
Reference format · Last reviewed September 2026
Which annexure letter this is has been reported inconsistently even across other reference sites - Passport Seva's exact numbering has changed over time. This format covers the commonly required declaration content, not a specific letter. Always confirm the current letter, exact wording, and whether notarization is still required on the official Passport Seva portal (passportindia.gov.in) before relying on this.
When You Need This
