An Affidavit For Lost Vehicle Registration Certificate is a crucial legal document required in South Africa when a vehicle owner needs to replace a lost, stolen, or destroyed vehicle registration certificate. This document is mandated by the National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996 and its regulations, forming an essential part of the replacement process. The affidavit must include detailed information about the vehicle owner, comprehensive vehicle details, circumstances of the loss, and a police case number. It serves multiple purposes: officially declaring the loss of the original certificate, protecting against fraudulent use of the lost document, and initiating the formal replacement process with the traffic department. The document must be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths and may be required for both privately owned vehicles and those registered to corporations or organizations.
