Yes, if a Certificate of Practice (COP) gets lost, it can be reissued. The advocate needs to apply to their State Bar Council with a written request explaining the loss. They may also need to submit an FIR or a lost-report acknowledgment and provide identity proof. Some Bar Councils charge a small reissue fee. After verifying the details, the council issues a duplicate COP. The new certificate works the same as the original, so the advocate can continue practicing without any problem.
