Lost driving license? Here’s how you can apply for a duplicate one

Transport offices across India offer duplicate driving licenses in case the holder has lost the original or if the original driving license has been stolen.

In case you have lost your original driving license or if it has
been stolen or mutilated, you can get a duplicate driving license from the same RTO that issued your DL. You can apply for a duplicate DL either online or directly at the RTO (regional transport office) without any hassles.

Documents to be submitted for duplicate driving license

An FIR (first instance report) referring to the loss of the license
Surrender of the original one (if the same is in a torn, mutilated or soiled state)
Challan clearance report which would have to be applied for separately and submitted. This states that the individual didn’t have any outstanding bills or tickets connected to the driver’s license in question
This is only handled in case of commercial vehicle licenses
Application Form LLD (for intimation of loss or destruction of driving license and application for duplicate)
All license holders should keep a photocopy of their licenses since there are a couple of details mentioned that might assist in tracking the misplaced one from records
Details of the driving license
Passport sized photographs

All the details in these forms will be cross-checked with the information already in the systems since these licenses were previously created. Since all information is gathered through records, the expiration date of the duplicate license will match the original.
