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
