Replace a lost or damaged National ID

Replace a lost or damaged National ID. We take it through NIRA for you.

Replace a lost, damaged or defaced National ID with NIRA. A government fee applies, priced by the reason (a damaged or defaced card costs more than a lost one); our team handles the whole process. Government fees are all included in one all-in price. You'll need a police report and a letter from your LC1 chairperson.
