If you lose your driver's license in another city, it can be replaced, and the process usually takes one day. According to Article 63 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' if a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at a vehicle management office outside the issuing jurisdiction. Here are the details: 1. Replacement: Starting now, citizens who need to replace their old driver's license with a new version should bring two copies of their ID card, two 1-inch color passport photos, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office) to the vehicle management office. After filling out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form,' the replacement can be processed free of charge. 2. Reissuance: Citizens who need to reissue a lost driver's license should also bring the above-mentioned documents to the vehicle management office and fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form' and the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Reissuance Application Form.' After paying the reissuance fee, they can receive the new version of the driver's license.

Last time I replaced my driver's license in another city, the whole process was quite fast. It usually only takes one or two days to get the new license, just bring your ID card and photos. Nowadays, many traffic management offices are efficient, and some cities even support online appointment processing, getting it done on the same day. However, it's important to prepare the materials in advance to avoid queuing troubles. By the way, driving without a license is really dangerous, just like a car with a flat tire can't be driven on the road. It's safer to wait until the license is processed before driving. It's recommended to regularly check if the vehicle's documents are complete to prevent unexpected situations from affecting the trip and driving safety.

As a long-distance driver, my experience with replacing a driver's license in another city tells me that barring any unforeseen circumstances, the processing time usually takes just one or two business days. The process is straightforward—just bring your ID card to the transportation department, fill out a form, and submit the materials, which takes only a few minutes. Don’t underestimate this task; having photocopies or photos ready can speed things up. Be cautious when replacing your license, as driving without it carries significant risks—similar to forcing a car with engine issues to keep running, which can lead to serious consequences. For daily driving, always store your documents in a secure place to avoid carelessness, like losing a wallet, which could disrupt your travel convenience.

In my experience, replacing a lost driver's license in another location is very quick, usually taking just a few minutes to an hour to get a new one. Simply bring your original ID card to the traffic management office, where the staff provides clear guidance. This reminds me to ensure everything is in order when driving, just as checking if the car lights are working is fundamentally important. If you lose your license, handle it promptly without delay to avoid being checked on the road, which could affect your mood and safety.
