Is Newspaper Publication Required for Reporting a Lost Driver's License?

[DeMiranda]

No newspaper publication is required for reporting a lost driver's license. The relevant information for a lost driver's license is as follows: Provide proof: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; a written statement declaring the loss of the motor vehicle driver's license. Reissue time: the vehicle management office that meets the requirements should reissue the motor vehicle driver's license within one day; after the motor vehicle driver receives the reissued driver's license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and must not be used anymore; during the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is legally seized, detained, or temporarily suspended, the motor vehicle driver cannot apply for a reissue. Application location: if the motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the motor vehicle driver should apply for a reissue at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at a vehicle management office outside the original issuing location.
