Replacing a Lost CDL in Nevada
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) handles replacement commercial driver's licenses. You MUST apply for a duplicate commercial driver's license in person at a NV DMV office that handles CDL transactions.
You must have a valid, properly endorsed CDL to operate any commercial vehicle; do not drive a commercial truck until you have your replacement CDL. Consider reporting your lost CDL to local and state authorities for identity protection purposes.
Apply for Nevada Duplicate CDL
Apply for your replacement NV commercial driver's license in person with a DMV office that handles CDL transactions.
Before you visit the office, have ready:
- A completed Application for Commercial Driving Privileges (Form CDL 002).
- All required identity and residency documents. These include ALL of the following:
- 1 document proving identity.
- If you've changed your name, provide proof name change.
- 1 document proving your Social Security number.
- 2 documents proving your Nevada residential address.
- 1 document proving identity.
- Any required CDL-specific documents such as your medical certificate or proofs of endorsements, as well as self-certification information.
- The $22.25 replacement fee.
Per Nevada's “Central Issuance" program, the DMV will give you a temporary CDL—also called an “interim document".
