If your commercial driver's license (CDL) has been lost or stolen, you must appear in person at your local driver's license office to apply for a replacement from the Georgia Department of Driver Services. Though you may do so with a regular license, you may not replace a lost commercial license online―you must appear in person.

Before you go to replace your lost license, be sure to file a police report and take a copy of that with you. You may need to fill out a Lost License Affidavit at the driver's license office.

Other documentation you may need is listed below. You'll need only one item from the Group 1 list, or two documents from Group 2.

Group 1:

• Certified birth certificate

• Valid passport

• Immigration ID card

• Certified copy of court records (name change, adoption, sex change)

Group 2:

• Original Social Security card

• Certified copy of marriage license

• Current auto insurance policy

• Voter registration card

Number Change

The Department of Driver Services will only change your driver's license number under the following circumstances:

• Your license number is the same as your Social Security number.

• Your license has been stolen (you must furnish a police report as proof).

• The change has been authorized in writing by the License Fraud Unit (usually in identity theft cases).
