Documents required
- Original copy of birth certificate

- Stamps for 15 LKR

Procedure
1. Make a complaint at the nearest police station once you know that you lost your NIC. Take a certified copy of the complaint from the Police. It will cost you 25 LKR.
If you lost both NIC and driving license make a photocopy of the complaint and certify it as a copy of the original from the same police station as you need certified copies for NIC and driving license separately.
Following document says you can log the complaint at the nearest police station.
Sample of a police complaint.
Sample of a copy requesting letter.
Sample of a receipt.
2. You need an original copy of your birth certificate. If you don't have one, you can get one at the nearest divisional secretariat. I think all DS offices are now interconnected. I took it from a DS office in the same district where I was born. One copy will cost you 100 LKR (as I remember).
3. Meet the Grama Sevaka where you have registered for voting and fill the following forms. Bring set of NIC photos and stamps for 15 LKR.
5. Then go to the NIC office in Colombo for one day service. Old office was at Jawatte and now they have moved to Pelawatte. You better go very early as there are so many people. Submit the application, pay 2,000 LKR (as I remember) for the one day service, and wait for 3-4 hours till they call your name. Finally you will have a new NIC as follows.
