Before you use it: An Affidavit of Loss only becomes legally binding once signed under oath before a licensed Notary Public. Notaries charge a nominal fee (or free at PAO for indigent clients).
Philippine notes
- Keep the circumstance of loss simple, factual, and honest (e.g. misplaced during travel). Never fabricate circumstances.
- Bring a secondary valid government ID with photo and signature when visiting the notary office for verification.
