Replace a Lost, Stolen, or Mutilated Oregon Driver's License or ID Card

If your Oregon driver's license or identification card has been lost, stolen, or mutilated, you can apply for a replacement or duplicate license at a full-service Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Office.

Instructions for replacing a lost, stolen or mutilated Oregon driver's license or identification card:

  1. Locate the Oregon DMV Office nearest you. Be sure to note the services offered, days and hours of operation.
  2. Bring proper identification. If the DMV does not have a previously filed photo of you, the proof of identity should include an identification with photo or a birth certificate.
  3. Bring proof of residence if your address has changed since your last issuance.
  4. Bring the correct fee of $21. Please contact your local DMV Office to confirm the fee before applying in person, since fees may vary.
Instructions for Oregon residents who are temporarily out of state: Oregon residents who are temporarily out of state and unable to apply in person may apply for a Valid Without Photo Driver License through the mail.
  1. A Valid Without Photo Driver License packet can be requested by calling 503-945-5400 or by sending an licensing request.
  2. Mail the Valid Without Photo Driver License Application with the $21 fee to:
    Driver and Motor Vehicle Services
    Driver Issuance Unit
    1905 Lana Ave. NE
    Salem, OR 97314    
  3. The temporary license will be processed and mailed to you.
  4. After returning to Oregon, you must visit a DMV Office within 30 days and exchange the valid without photo license for a regular photo license by paying another $21 fee.
