If your Louisiana commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Louisiana 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 CDL Issuance Motor Vehicle Office /fl/florida/dmv-location-hoursin person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
2. You must present current proof of your vehicle insurance and your medical card.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $5 plus the parish fee, which differs by county, but is not more than $3. The fee is accepted in cash only.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the CDL Issuance Motor Vehicle Office when you apply for a replacement.
