This Affidavit for Loss of Identity Card is a jurisdiction-specific legal document used in Kenya by individuals who have misplaced or lost their National Identity Card and require an official sworn statement to support replacement. It is designed for Kenyan citizens who need to notify the Registrar of Persons, government offices, security agencies, banks, employers, or any other authority that their ID card is missing and that efforts to recover it have been unsuccessful. The affidavit is sworn under the Oaths and Statutory Declarations Act, Cap 15 of the Laws of Kenya, making it a legally recognized document across all official and administrative institutions in the country.

This document is especially useful for individuals whose identity card was lost due to theft, misplacement, or accidental loss in public places such as matatus, workplaces, or markets. The affidavit includes important details such as the deponent’s full name, postal address, ID number, the circumstances under which the ID was lost, the police station where the loss was reported, and the serial number of the police abstract. Swearing this affidavit provides formal confirmation that the ID is genuinely lost and supports the issuance of a replacement card by the Registrar of Persons.

This template is ideal for Kenyan citizens seeking a well-structured, reliable, and legally compliant affidavit to facilitate the replacement of a lost National ID card, ensuring smooth processing of government services, banking transactions, employment verification, and other identity-dependent activities.
