If your Michigan commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Michigan 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 Secretary of State Branch Office in person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
2. You must present valid forms of identification along with your social security number.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $9.
4. If your lost/stolen CDL was due to expire within 12 months, you may also choose to renew your CDL instead of applying for a duplicate/replacement CDL.
5. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the Secretary of State Branch Office when you apply for a replacement.
