If your Iowa commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Iowa 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 station in person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
2. You must present two valid forms of proof of identification, including at least one primary document and one secondary document.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $3.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the driver license station when you apply for a replacement.
