If your Alaska commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Alaska law, it is a good idea to notify your local police department if you believe your CDL has been stolen.

APPLYING FOR A DUPLICATE CDL

1. You will need to visit your local driver license office in person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
2. You must present two valid forms of identification, including at least one primary document.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $15.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the driver license office when you apply for a replacement.

If you are out of state, you may apply for a temporary CDL by mailing the application form and a check or money order for the $15 fee to:

State of Alaska
Division of Motor Vehicles
Attn: Temporary License
P.O. Box 110221
Juneau, AK 99811-0221    

The Alaska DMV will mail you a temporary license; however, you must visit a DMV location when you return to obtain the replacement license. You may also apply for the temporary CDL by faxing the application form and your credit card information to the DMV at (907) 465-5509. The DMV will use your credit card details to collect the replacement fee of $15 and will fax back the temporary license to you. You must, of course, visit a DMV location when you return to obtain the replacement license.
