California - Apply for Duplicate Drivers License or Identification card

Advertisement

Procedure

1. Visit a DMV office. Book an appointment(s) for faster service.
2. Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application form DL 44 or DL 44C. (An original DL 44 or 44C form must be submitted. Copies will not be accepted.) For a duplicate driver license, minors must have parents or guardians signatures on the DL 44. The department does not provide DL 44 or DL 44C online because original signatures are required on the form, and each DL 44 or DL 44C contains a unique barcode which must be scanned or keyed by the DMV employee. To obtain a DL 44 or DL 44C form, call DMVs Automated Telephone Service at 1-800-777-0133 (available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week) to have a form mailed to you or visit your local DMV office to pick one up.
3. Pay the application fee.
4. Have your picture taken and your thumb print collected.

Notes:

• To make sure your identity is secure, the DMV will validate your photograph, social security number, and your personal information.
• You will receive an interim license valid for 90 days and/or a receipt for your ID card until you receive your new photo license and/or photo ID card in the mail. Check your address before you leave DMV and tell the DMV representative if your address is incorrect. Your new license and/or ID card will be mailed to you within 60 days. If you have not received your license and/or ID card after 60 days, call 18007770133 to check the status. Have your interim license and/or ID card receipt with you to provide information when requested.
