This sworn statement formally declares the circumstances surrounding the loss and is a mandatory step before the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) can issue a new ID.
It serves to protect the holder from potential fraudulent use of the lost document and provides official notice of its disappearance.
When is this document required?
- PRC ID Replacement: It is an indispensable requirement for applying for a new Professional Identification Card after the original has been lost or stolen.
- Police Report Support: If the PRC ID was stolen, this affidavit often accompanies a police report filed with local authorities, although a police report may not always be mandatory, it is advisable for stolen items.
- Proof of Loss: It serves as official proof to the PRC of the loss of the professional license, enabling the processing of a replacement.
Legal Requirements:
The affidavit must be executed by the professional whose ID was lost and must be notarized by a commissioned Notary Public in the Philippines.
This legal formality ensures the authenticity of the sworn statement.
Under Philippine law, intentionally making false statements in a sworn affidavit constitutes Perjury, which is a criminal offense punishable under the Revised Penal Code.
It is essential to ensure that all details provided are truthful and accurate to avoid legal repercussions.
