Request Letter for a Duplicate ID Card or Marksheet
The short answer
State what was lost or damaged, when you noticed, and that you need a duplicate. For a marksheet, offices usually ask for more than a letter, such as a police report or an affidavit and a fee, but the rules differ, so ask your office. The template covers the letter.
When a document is lost or damaged.
Leave empty for “The Principal”. Use the Head of Department or the Dean if that is who signs.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a police report for a lost ID card?
Often not, but a lost marksheet may need one. The office tells you which papers apply, so ask before you spend time on the wrong ones.
How soon will I get it?
An ID card may take days, a marksheet longer, especially from a university. Ask for the time and apply early if you need it for a job or admission.
