Affidavit of Loss for a Lost Driver's License

Replacing a lost driver's license usually starts with a notarized affidavit of loss. Fill in your details below; the document updates as you type.

What to prepare

  • License number and expiry date (from a photocopy or photo, if you have one)
  • Date and place of loss and how it happened, in a sentence or two
  • One other valid government ID for the notary

Good to know for this situation

  • Keep the story short and factual: when, where, and that you searched for it.
  • If the license was stolen, a police report may also be asked for.
  • If you find the license later, do not use it once a replacement is issued.

Questions

What do I bring to replace a lost driver's license?
Usually the notarized affidavit of loss, a valid ID and the replacement fee. Requirements can differ by office and change over time, so confirm with the office that will receive the document before you have it notarized.
Is a police report required?
Not always for a simple loss, but it is commonly asked for when the license was stolen. Requirements can differ by office and change over time, so confirm with the office that will receive the document before you have it notarized.
