If your driver’s license is lost, stolen, or damaged/destroyed, and you have a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC), you can get a replacement license, known as a duplicate. 

 

If your name or address has changed since you got your last license, there are additional steps to update your address on your new license.

Step 1: Print and complete the required form

• Complete an application for duplicate of current driver's license or permit (Form 1-B).

Step 2: Make an appointment 

• When you replace a driver’s license, please make an appointment at a DMV office.

Step 3: Get your replacement CDL in the mail
