If your Connecticut commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Connecticut 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 satellite office, full service office or photo license center 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. If you are not able to provide valid ID, Connecticut DMV offers an interim license for 10 days, within which you must return with your primary ID to apply for a duplicate CDL.
3. Fill out an Application for Duplicate of Current Driver's License or Permit.
4. Submit the replacement fee of $30.
5. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the satellite office, full service office or photo license center when you apply for a replacement.
