Replacing Your Lost Driver's License in Texas

If your TX license or ID has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, you need to act quickly to get it replaced. You should also consider reporting it to prevent identity theft.

Texas Drivers License Information

NOTE: When you replace a lost, damaged, or stolen license, your expiration date does not change.

Report a Lost or Stolen TX Driver's License

The first thing you should do to remedy a missing driving license is report it to the police. Doing so is the initial step in protecting your identity.

Reporting a missing drivers license is especially important if it has been stolen. In fact, the TX Department of Public Safety (DPS) requires Texas residents to report their lost driver's license to the police IF they know that it has been stolen and used by somebody else.

Requests for a New Texas Driver's License or ID Number

To further protect your identity, instead of simply replacing your lost drivers license, you can request a new Texas drivers license or ID number by:

• Visiting your local driver license office.
• Taking the steps to apply for a replacement license (see below).
• Submitting a copy of your police report.

Whether a new number will be provided is up to the TX Department of Public Safety.
