What to Do If Driving License and ID Card Are Lost?
1 Answers
First, reapply for the ID card or temporary ID card, then reapply for the driving license. The process for reapplying for a lost ID card: The applicant or a representative should go to the local public security authority (usually the police station) at the permanent residence to complete the reapplication procedures. Fill out the "Resident ID Card Application Form." The staff will verify the household registration booklet and review the "Resident ID Card Application Form." Pay the document processing fee and receive the application receipt. Upon receiving the collection notice or after 60 working days from the application date, bring the receipt to the application location to collect the ID card. Driving license reapplication: If the motor vehicle driving license is lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or another authorized office. When applying, fill out the application form and submit the following documents: the driver's identity proof; a written statement declaring the loss of the driving license. If the application meets the requirements, the vehicle management office should reissue the driving license within one day. After the driver receives the new driving license, the original one becomes invalid and must not be used. During the period when the driving license is legally seized, detained, or suspended, the driver cannot apply for a replacement.
