What Do I Do if I Lose my Drivers License?

Answer:
If you lose your driver’s license, you

will need to replace it if you intend to keep driving. Some states require you to file a police report to stop any potential thieves from using your identity.

Once you have done this, if required, head to the DMV to fill in the application for a duplicate or replacement license. You will need documentation, such as your Social Security card and birth certificate, to prove your identity. A proof of address is also usually required. This can be a recent utility bill showing your current address. You can expect to pay a fee for the replacement license.
