How to Handle a Lost Driver's License?
1 Answers
If you lose your driver's license, there is no need to report it as lost. You simply need to promptly visit the vehicle management office at the place of issuance to apply for a replacement. Below is relevant information regarding the replacement of a driver's license: 1. Required Materials: (1) Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver. (2) Original driver's license (if the license is damaged) / Written statement of loss of the driver's license (if the license is lost). (3) Original receipt of the provincial motor vehicle driver's license digital photo collection. 2. Important Notes: (1) After the replacement process is successfully completed, you cannot drive a motor vehicle with the original license before receiving the new one. If the replacement process is initiated but the new license is not issued on the same day due to time constraints, you must not drive during this "gap period" until the new license is obtained. Driving without the new license during this time will be considered as driving without a license. (2) Once a new license is issued, the original driver's license becomes invalid. If you lose your driver's license and obtain a replacement, even if you later find the original license, it will still be considered invalid (as you have already "declared" it lost). In such cases, the new license is the valid one.
