You can apply for a replacement of a lost driver's license at the vehicle management office. Here are the specific details about losing a driver's license: 1. Driving is not allowed: Losing a driver's license affects the driver's ability to drive legally. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if you drive without carrying your driver's license and are caught by traffic police, your vehicle will be impounded. You will be fined and have 1 point deducted from your license; the vehicle will only be returned once you can provide your driver's license. 2. Replacement instructions: 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 authorities, a replacement will be issued within 3 days from the date of receiving the application.
Last time my friend lost his driver's license and was panicking. I quickly took him to the local DMV to get it replaced. Just bring the original ID card and a few one-inch photos. The DMV has dedicated windows for this, and the process is simple: fill out an application form, pay a small fee, and you can get a temporary proof on the spot. The new license will be mailed to your home within a week. Be careful not to drive without a license for too long, as it's illegal to drive without one. Nowadays, there are many DMV branches in the city. Search for the location on your phone map, and it's recommended to go in the morning to avoid peak hours and long queues, so you don't waste time. The replacement fee is usually a few dozen yuan, and if you have all the materials, it can be done in half an hour. Don't stress.
