How to Replace a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in Florida

If your Florida commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Florida 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 proof of legal presence, including at least one primary document.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $10. This fee may be waived if your license has been stolen and you have a copy of the police report you filed.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the driver license office when you apply for a replacement.
