What You’ll Need

Use this as a preparation checklist. Items marked “If it applies” are situational.

  • Affidavit of Lost Certificate of Registration

    Official source

    If the vehicle is encumbered, the charter says the affidavit is executed by the financing institution.

    1 originalGet it from: Applicant / financing institution / notary public

  • Duly accomplished Motor Vehicle Inspection Report (MVIR)

    Official source
    1 originalGet it from: LTO District/Extension Office or Motor Vehicle Inspection Center

  • Valid Philippine government-issued ID

    Official source

    Present the original and submit one photocopy. The charter lists PhilID, passport, SSS, UMID, PhilHealth, TIN, Postal ID, voter’s ID, PRC, Senior Citizen, OFW, OWWA, NCDA, Solo Parent, voter’s certification, GSIS e-Card, Seaman’s Book, GOCC, HDMF, DSWD certification, and IBP ID.

    Original presented, photocopy submitted

How To Do It

  1. 1

    Execute the affidavit of loss

    Official source

    The registered owner executes it for a standard CR. If the unit is encumbered, the financing institution executes it.

  2. 2

    Have the vehicle inspected

    Official source

    LTO lists a completed MVIR on the standard checklist. Bring the vehicle to the inspecting office or center.

  3. 3

    File at an LTO District or Extension Office

    Official source

    Submit the affidavit, MVIR, and ID. LTO retrieves and verifies motor vehicle records and may request electronic confirmation from another district office.

  4. 4

    Pay the published ₱70 total and claim the duplicate papers

    Official source

    The charter breakdown is ₱10 Legal Research Fund, ₱30 duplicate CR, and ₱30 duplicate Official Receipt. After approval, LTO prints and issues the CR or CRE against the new OR.

Fees

Only amounts published by LTO are shown as figures. Third-party charges are flagged instead of guessed.

Important Notes

  • Keep photocopies of OR and CR once you have them

    Confirm at office

    Replacing lost papers takes records confirmation time. Photocopies do not replace the originals, but they help you describe the vehicle while a duplicate is processed.

  • Financed vehicles follow a different affidavit rule

    Official source

    If the CR is encumbered, the lost-CR affidavit is executed by the financing institution, not only by the borrower.

  • Older circulars listed extra documents

    Confirm at office

    A 2011 LTO memorandum on duplicate OR/CR listed HPG clearance and certified copies among other items. The Citizen’s Charter service page used for this v0.1 checklist does not print those as the current standard set. If your office still asks for HPG clearance, follow the office.

Where / How To Apply

LTO District and Extension Offices, generally 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Electronic confirmation from the originating office may be requested if the record is not in the transacting office.

A large part of this clock is records retrieval and possible electronic confirmation from another district office, not the cashier window alone.
