How to Handle a Lost Driver's License?
2 Answers
After losing your driver's license, you must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office. 1. The process for replacing a driver's license is as follows: (1) Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" as required. (2) Original and photocopy of the applicant's ID card. (3) A written statement confirming the loss of the driver's license. (4) Two photos of the driver. 2. Important notes: (1) After obtaining a replacement driver's license, the original license becomes invalid and must not be used. (2) If the driver's license is legally seized, detained, or temporarily suspended, the driver cannot apply for a replacement. (3) If the driver continues to use the original license in violation of regulations, the traffic management department of the public security authority will impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan and confiscate the original license.
Oh no, lost your driver's license? Don't panic—I've been there. Just head to your local DMV. Bring your original ID card and some 1-inch white-background photos (better bring extras), plus a loss report (first file a police report to prevent misuse). At the DMV, fill out an application, pay around 10-20 RMB, then wait about a week for your new license. The whole process took me half a day—queues are long, so go early to beat the rush. You can also handle it online via the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, but I find in-person more reliable. Don't delay—timely replacement ensures safe driving and avoids future hassles.
