If your Ohio commercial driver's license (CDL) is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement license. While not required by Ohio 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 Deputy Registrar License Agency in person in order to apply for a replacement CDL.
2. You must present two valid forms of identification, including at least one primary and one secondary document. At least one of the documents must have your social security number on it. Copies are accepted only if certified by the authority issuing it.
3. Submit the replacement fee of $27.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the Deputy Registrar License Agency when you apply for a replacement.
