Applying for a duplicate driving licence (if yours is lost or stolen)
If one or both parts of your driving licence is lost or stolen, you will need to:
- submit a completed driving licence application form;
- if you have not previously had your identity verified, submit your original passport OR a completed Identity Verification Form. If you are submitting an ID verification form you will also need to bring your birth certificate. If you post in your original passport, it will be returned to you via recorded delivery. (If your identity has already been verified, a date will have been inserted in section 14 on the back of the plastic part of your driving licence);
- pay a £30 fee for the replacement of a driving licence.
Please note:
- You will be issued with a new driving licence card and a new paper counterpart.
- The dates on the duplicate driving licence will remain the same so your driving licence will still expire the same date as previously.
- If the missing driving licence subsequently comes into your possession, you should securely destroy it or return it to Edward T Wheadon House.
