When DTS needs a lost receipt form
The Defense Travel System requires a receipt for every lodging expense and for any other expense of $75.00 or more. If a receipt is lost and the vendor cannot send a copy, travelers attach a signed statement instead. Air Force finance offices use the Certification of Missing or Lost Receipt: Section I lists each expense with its rates, taxes and fees, Section II explains why the receipt is missing, and Section III is the signed certification. This DTS lost receipt form reproduces the 02 Jun 14 revision posted by Air Force finance offices.
How to use this receipt
| Step | Details |

| 3 | Answer the Yes/No questions and the airfare payment method. |
| 4 | Explain why the receipt is not available and what you did to get a copy. |
| 5 | Download, sign and date the form, and attach it to your DTS voucher. |
FAQs
When do I need a receipt in DTS?
The DoD travel FAQ says a receipt is always required for lodging, regardless of the amount, and for any other individual expense of $75.00 or more.
Is there one official DTS lost receipt form?
No. The DoD travel FAQ points to two DFAS statements in lieu of receipts and notes that each service or agency may require its own form. Air Force offices use this Certification of Missing or Lost Receipt, so check with your approving official or defense travel administrator.
Can I use a lost receipt statement for a hotel booked online?
No. According to the DoD travel FAQ, JTR paragraph 010301 does not allow a lost receipt statement in place of a receipt for lodging booked through an online booking site.
Why does the form cite the JFTR and AFI 65-114?
The form is the June 2014 revision and keeps its original references. The current rule is in the Joint Travel Regulations; the requirement to attach lodging receipts and receipts of $75 or more is unchanged.
Are the example details real?
No. The traveler, hotel, dates and amounts are fictional.
