An Affidavit of Damaged Passport is a crucial document required when a Swiss passport or a foreign passport in Swiss jurisdiction has been damaged and needs replacement. This sworn statement, regulated under Swiss federal law and cantonal requirements, is typically needed when physical damage to a passport renders it potentially invalid or unusable for travel. The document must be executed before appropriate Swiss authorities and includes detailed information about the passport holder, specific passport details, circumstances of damage, and any relevant supporting evidence. It serves as an official record for passport-issuing authorities and may be required for both domestic and international travel documentation processes. The affidavit helps authorities verify the legitimacy of the damage claim and protects against potential passport fraud or misuse.
