The Basics

Losing your license―or having it stolen―can be a frustrating experience. And, it can be a little scary, too.

To replace your license, go to any license agency and bring with you acceptable personal documentation, including either two primary documents, or one primary and one secondary document.

You will also need to recite your Social Security number as listed on the agency record.

You will then be given a replacement license at a cost of $10.

If you haven't lost your license, but it is damaged, you'll need to follow the same procedure and pay the same fee to have it replaced.

Out of the State or Country

Losing a license while outside your home state can be quite disconcerting. Should this happen to you, you can request a verification letter from the state, which will be valid for 90 days. Simply download and complete Form 45811, and then send it to the following address as soon as possible:

  • Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles
  • Photo-Exempt Request
  • 531 Virginia Ave.
  • Indianapolis, IN 46203

It will take about a week to process your request.

When you return to Indiana, you can then apply for a replacement license by following the procedure explained at the beginning of this article.
