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

If your Alabama driver's license or identification card has been lost, stolen, or mutilated, you can apply for a replacement or duplicate license at your local Driver's License Division of the Alabama Department of Public Safety (DPS).

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

1. Locate the Alabama DPS driver license office nearest you. Be sure to note the days and hours of operation.
2. Bring proper identification. The state of Alabama requires that you present one piece of primary ID and one piece of secondary ID, at least one of which should have a photograph, when applying for a duplicate driver's license or identification card. Alternatively, you can present three pieces of non-photo IDs, with at least one of them being a primary ID.
3. Bring the correct fee. Normally, there is an $18 fee for replacing a lost, stolen, or mutilated license. Credit cards, checks or other forms of payment are not accepted. Please contact your local DPS driver license office to confirm the fee before applying in person, since fees may vary.

Instructions for Alabama residents who are temporarily out of state:
