Document background
The Affidavit for Loss of Certificate is a critical legal document used in Saudi Arabia when an individual or organization needs to formally declare the loss of an important certificate or document. This sworn statement, governed by Saudi Arabian legal framework including various Royal Decrees and ministerial resolutions, serves multiple purposes: it creates an official record of the loss, protects the declarant from potential misuse of the lost document, and provides a legal basis for obtaining replacement documentation. The affidavit must include specific details about the lost certificate, circumstances of loss, and declaration of truth, while complying with both civil and Sharia law requirements. It's particularly important in cases involving academic credentials, professional certifications, ownership documents, or other official certificates where proof of loss is required for replacement.
