An Affidavit of Loss Certificate of Registration is a crucial legal document required when a vehicle owner or authorized representative needs to replace a lost, stolen, or destroyed vehicle registration certificate in Canada. This document serves as a formal sworn statement that protects both the declarant and the provincial authorities by creating a legal record of the loss and the circumstances surrounding it. It is typically required by provincial motor vehicle departments before issuing a replacement registration certificate, helping prevent fraudulent duplicate registrations while providing a legal basis for the issuance of a replacement document. The affidavit must be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public and includes specific details about the vehicle, the registration, and the circumstances of the loss, making it a legally binding declaration under both federal and provincial law.
