My late brother qualified for and subsequently obtained an M1 Garand from the CMP.  He shot it a few times, but mostly he kept it in a locked safe.  As he developed Alzheimers, his wife managed to keep the safes off-limits.  But his CMP papers went missing.  As next of blood kin, I ended up with the M1.

Is there a way to get duplicates from CMP?  Thx.

Short answer yes, it's $25 per serial number.
CMP serial number search information

I'm not sure if they give you a copy of the Certificate of Authentication though.

I believe they issue a letter confirming sale but do not provide replacement certificates.

Sorry about your brother. I wouldn't worry about the paperwork and enjoy the rifle.

I think they will but they leave the name blank.
