D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 16, r. 16-907
Whenever any pledgor notifies the licensee who issued a pawnticket that the ticket has been lost, destroyed, or stolen, the licensee, before permitting the redemption of the pledge or before issuing a new pawnticket shall, in addition to satisfying himself or herself or the validity of the claim, require the pledgor to make a written statement of the alleged loss, destruction, or theft of the ticket.
The written statement shall be signed in the presence of, and witnessed by, the licensee, or the licensee's duly authorized employee.
The statement shall be filed in the numerical file of pledgor's surrendered tickets in lieu of the lost ticket.
If the pawnticket is lost, stolen or destroyed, the licensee may make a charge not exceeding one dollar (S 1.00) for the additional service and expense performed or imposed on the licensee in connection with the issuance of a new pawnticket.
