The Commissioner of Police and the Chief Electoral Commissioner, remind Maltese persons who lose their Malta identity card or have their identity card stolen that they need to first lodge a report of loss/theft at a Police Station.  Presentation of another photo identification document would be of assistance.  

A copy of the report or an acknowledgement of said report is to be taken personally to the ID Cards Office at Evans Building in Valletta where a sworn statement or solemn declaration would be administered, a fresh digital photo is taken and a substitute ID Card is issued at the same time, at an all inclusive fee of €3.49. 

Office hours are Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 2pm; Wednesdays also from 3pm to 6pm; Saturdays from 7.30am to 10.30am.
