Lost documents: what to do
If Aadhaar, PAN, a driving licence, marksheets or a passbook are lost, first lodge a loss report with the police (its receipt is needed for duplicates), then ask the issuing authority for a duplicate. Many documents are available at once from DigiLocker.
What to do
- If a bank card, cheque book or SIM is lost, call the bank or operator first and get it blocked.
- Lodge a loss report at the nearest police station or on the Uttarakhand Police citizen portal, and keep the receipt.
- Aadhaar: download e-Aadhaar or order a PVC card from the UIDAI site or app. Driving licence and RC: apply for a duplicate on Parivahan Sewa.
- Marksheets and certificates: check the issued copy in DigiLocker; otherwise apply to the board or university for a duplicate (a police report and an affidavit may be asked for).
- For a lost registered deed, a certified copy is available from the Sub-Registrar office; a newspaper notice and an affidavit may be needed.
What to bring
- The police report receipt
- Any photocopy or number of the lost document
- Another identity document and passport-size photos
