When you need it

You need a sworn affidavit to support a driving licence matter the Regional Transport Authority or Licensing Authority has no independent proof for — a duplicate licence after the original was lost or destroyed, your date of birth where no birth or matriculation certificate exists, a change of the address or the name recorded on your licence, or a parent's consent to a minor's learner's licence for a gearless motorcycle. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 apply uniformly across India, and licensing is now largely routed through the Sarathi and Parivahan portals; what is jurisdiction-specific here is the authority you file with — in Punjab the Regional Transport Authority or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate-cum-Licensing Authority of the district, in Chandigarh the Registering and Licensing Authority, U.T. Chandigarh — and where this affidavit is notarised.

Not for: a fresh learner's or permanent licence application by an adult with the usual documents, which needs no affidavit; or a driving licence dispute, suspension or disqualification, which is a hearing before the Licensing Authority or a court, not an affidavit.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

An affidavit is chargeable under Article 4, Schedule 1-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable to Punjab, which Schedule also governs the Union Territory of Chandigarh. In practice it is sworn on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10, the smallest denomination generally sold at a treasury, an SHCIL e-stamp counter or an authorised stamp vendor in Punjab or in Chandigarh; the Sarathi portal's own online workflow for a duplicate licence commonly asks for this affidavit to be uploaded as a scanned document rather than produced in original at the counter. Figures checked 19 September 2026; Punjab's Schedule 1-A rates for a list of instruments including affidavits have been revised by cabinet-approved ordinance since Article 4 was last generally known to charge one rupee, and the exact rupee figure now notified was not independently confirmed for this template — confirm it at the stamp vendor on the day of purchase.

Registration

This affidavit goes into the licensing file with the application and is not an instrument the Registration Act, 1908 requires to be registered, in Punjab or in Chandigarh.

Notarisation

Sworn or affirmed before a Notary Public or an Oath Commissioner appointed for Punjab or for the Union Territory of Chandigarh, who verifies the Deponent's identity and signs, stamps and dates the affidavit, before it is uploaded or produced with the application.

Witnesses

This affidavit needs no separate attesting witness in either jurisdiction beyond the notarial attestation.
