If your New Mexico commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by New Mexico law, it is a good idea to notify your local police department if you believe your CDL has been stolen.
[edit] APPLYING FOR A DUPLICATE CDL
- You will need to visit your local Motor Vehicle Division Field Office in person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
- You must present four valid forms of identification, including one identification number like a social security card, one proof of identity and two New Mexico address proofs.
- Submit the replacement fee of $18.
- If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the Motor Vehicle Division Field Office when you apply for a replacement.
- You will receive a temporary license with a validity of 30 days, while the MVD sends the duplicate CDL by mail.
[edit] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- You cannot apply for a replacement commercial driver's license online or through the mail.
- If your name or address has changed, you may need to apply for a replacement CDL in order to correct the information.
