The Alien Certificate of Registration (ARC) I-card is a document that foreigners staying in the Philippines must have. The card is easily applied for and gotten at a local Bureau of Immigration (BI) office.
In the event that a person looses or has their ACR card stolen, then they must go to the BI and apply for re-issuance and do the following:
1. Supply a letter requesting re-issuance of the ACR I-card
2. An affidavit of loss
3. Police report
