- Exemption from registration fee when the Certificate has been lost, torn, stained, smudged or damaged. If an organization or individual with a Certificate applies for re-issuance because the old Certificate is lost, torn, stained, smudged or damaged, the registration fee will be exempted. Therefore, the organization, an individual, when carrying out procedures for re-issuance of Certificate of ownership and use rights in this case will not need to declare and complete registration fee exemption procedures (while the old regulations were individuals, the organization must have a proposal).
