Question about lost Driver License.?

I recently lost my Driver License. What are the steps I should take in this matter?

Will I need to repeat the process again from where I was first starting out in getting my Driver License, such as written test, vision test and road test?

I hope your social wasnt on it. Just go to the DMV and ask for another one. You may have to take a new pic, and you will have to pay for it. I hope its not suspended.

Lost? As in your wallet and License, or as in the Court took it?

If you lost it as in your Wallet, then you need to go to DMV and they will reissue you a new one.

If you lost it in Court, then you will need to get insurance just to get your license and depending on what state, you may or may not need to take the road test and written test, the vision is a given each time you get your license renewed/replaced regardless.

It depends on the law in your state, but most likely you can go down the the Revenue office where you get your liscense and tell them you lost it. You will probably need a copy of your social security card or anything else with your name, dob, and ssn on it and get another ID made. My state saves your picture on file...so they should be able to see that it is you and just re-print your new drivers liscense. As long as it is not expired, you will not have to retake the test. You will however, have to pay for another liscense...I think it's $25-$30 here.

I dont know how you go about getting a new one.
you may have to pay.
but you won't have to take the test again, i'm sure :)
Phone DVLA ( this may be a UK company only) or wherever you got your license from
hope i helped

If you mean that you misplaced it then no you don't have to retest but if you mean that law enforcement took it from you then yes you have to re est. either way just call your local DMV for directions.

Just go to the DMV and tell them you lost it. They will issue you another for a duplicate fee. That's it.

No, you just contact the DMV and order a replacement. Depending on the state you may or may not have to go in for a new picture.

look on the state DMV website; or give them a call; proceedures vary a lot from state to state when you have t apply for reinstatement

If you have a copy of the drivers license you can take it to the test center and say that you have lost a license and they will issue you another one, else if you have the number some where you can use that number and they will send you another license based on that.

No, go to the DMV and apply for a duplicate. No Biggie! If you have a licence with a magnetic strip on the back they will make your original licence inactive. You wouldn't even be able to use it to get into bars with the scanners they have. The licence you get will usually say duplicate or dup1.

no you just have to go to the drivers place or do it online.bring you birth certificate and not sure how much..I think 10 dollars.


Insuranceman
Go to your DMV with proper ID and they will issue a new one. Depending on your State, you MIGHT be able to do it on-line.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
