Replacing a Lost CDL in Maine

You can apply for a replacement commercial driver's license with the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) in person or by mail.

The ME BMV doesn't require you to report your lost CDL to law enforcement, but it's a good idea for identity theft protection. DO NOT operate a commercial truck or any other commercial vehicle until your replacement CDL is in your hands.

Replacing a ME CDL in Person

To apply for a replacement CDL in person, visit your local BMV office or mobile unit and provide:

• A completed Request for Duplicate Motor Vehicle Operator's License or Identification Card (Form MV-10).
• Provide acceptable proofs of:
  • Legal presence.
  • Residency.
  • Identification—2 documents:
    • 1 document must show your date of birth.
    • 1 document must show your signature.
• Any additional CDL-related documents (i.e., medical certificate or proof of endorsement).
• Payment for the $5 fee.

Mail-In Duplicate Commercial License

To apply for a duplicate CDL by mail:

• Complete a Request for Duplicate Motor Vehicle Operator's License or Identification Card (Form MV-10).
  • Be sure to provide a thorough explanation why you need a new commercial driver's license.
• Provide the $5 fee.
  • Contact the BMV for information about acceptable payment forms by mail.

You may also be required to provide proof of identity, residency, and legal presence—see above for details.

Mail the above to:

Secretary of State

License Information Unit
29 State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333

Note that:

• The BMV will verify the image and signature it has on file for you.
• Once your duplicate CDL is processed, the BMV will mail it to the address you provide on the application.
