What should I do if I lost my driver's license?

Asked 2 years ago
If an individual loses their driver's license in North Carolina, there are several steps to follow. First, they should report the loss to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles, which can help protect against identity theft and fraudulent use of the lost license. Next, the individual can apply for a replacement driver's license online, by mail, or in person at their local DMV office. When applying for a replacement, they will need to provide some identification and possibly other documentation, such as their Social Security number and proof of residency. It is also advisable to check the website of the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles for the most current procedures and to find any applicable fees for the replacement license. Taking these steps will help ensure that the individual can safely obtain a new driver's license as soon as possible.
