It cost $2 to replace (get a duplicate) of your AZ driving instruction permit. You must pay $7 for the initial permit.

Visit the nearest motor vehicles testing center to replace or renew your driving instruction or learners’ permit. The AZ Motor Vehicles Division (MVD) website lists area testing centers, including their street address, telephone number and hours of operation. If you are younger than 18 years, bring your parents or legal guardians with you to the testing center.

Fill out the renewal or replacement application and provide two forms of identification (if at least one of the forms has your picture on it). You will need three forms of identification if none of the documents have your picture on them.  Acceptable forms of identification include:

• Birth certificate
• Official citizenship or naturalization documents
• Social security card
• United States military identification card
• United States passport
• Student identification card (must have your picture on it)
• Employee identification card (must have your picture on it)
• W-2 form

You do not have to retake the practice permit test or the actual written permit test to receive a replaced or renewed learners’ permit.
