Paragraph 5 Issue of duplicate certificates of entitlement

If a purchaser to whom a certificate of entitlement has been issued notifies the Secretary of State that it has been lost or destroyed, the Secretary of State, upon being satisfied that the certificate has been lost or destroyed, shall issue a copy of the certificate marked as a duplicate.

In any case where a duplicate of a lost certificate has been issued and the lost certificate subsequently comes into the possession of the purchaser he shall forthwith return it to the Secretary of State.

If a certificate of entitlement becomes defaced or illegible, the purchaser to whom it relates may return it to the Secretary of State so that the Secretary of State may issue a copy of the certificate marked as a duplicate.
