New Driver Checklist

Ordering a Duplicate License in North Carolina

If you have a lost drivers license, you can order a duplicate license online from the NC DMV. To do so, you must:

  • Have your drivers license number and date of birth.
  • Have a driver license issued after October 1996.
  • Have a valid Social Security number or other government ID number on file with the North Carolina DMV.
  • Have a working e-mail address.
  • Have a DMV-assigned PIN. If you don’t have a PIN, you can request one on the DMV website by clicking a link.
  • Be ready to pay $10 with Visa or Mastercard.

The new drivers license will be mailed to you within 10 days.

If you're missing any of this info, then make an appointment at a local DMV and head in with another form of ID to get a new duplicate drivers license, so they can look up your info for you.

Stolen License in NC

If you suspect that you don’t have a lost license, but that someone actually stole your license and may be using it for identity theft, you should report it to your local police department.

In addition, you may want to report a stolen license to credit reporting companies, in case there are any problems. The contact information is:
