In the Philippines, an Affidavit of Loss of Pag-IBIG ID (HDMF) is a crucial legal document required when an individual's Pag-IBIG ID card has been lost, stolen, or misplaced.
This sworn statement formally declares the circumstances of the loss, protecting the owner from potential misuse of the lost ID and enabling them to apply for a replacement.
What is Pag-IBIG (HDMF)?
The Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), popularly known as Pag-IBIG Fund, is a national savings program and an affordable shelter financing scheme for Filipinos.
It provides housing loans, multi-purpose loans, and calamity loans to its members.
The Pag-IBIG ID card serves as a primary identification document for members when transacting with the fund, applying for loans, or proving membership.

The affidavit must be executed by the Pag-IBIG member (affiant) and must be notarized by a commissioned Notary Public in the Philippines.
