Should I Replace My Lost Driver's License Immediately?

[Madeline]

You can apply for a replacement of your lost driver's license at any time, as long as you have the relevant materials ready and submit an application for a replacement at the vehicle management office. A lost driver's license remains valid until it is reported missing, so it is necessary to report the loss and apply for a replacement promptly to prevent misuse by criminals and avoid unnecessary trouble. Below is an introduction to the time frame for replacing a lost driver's license: 1. If your driver's license is lost or damaged, you can submit a replacement application and relevant materials to the traffic management department of the public security authority. After verification and acceptance by the authority, the replacement will be issued within 3 days from the date of receiving the application. 2. If you go to the vehicle management office to handle the replacement and there are few people, you can usually receive the new driver's license on the spot. If you apply for a replacement online and choose mail delivery, the time will depend on the logistics situation.
