Losing your lost Maryland driver's license can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't have to be. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get a replacement license quickly and easily.

Step 1: Gather Required Documents

Before you head to the MVA, you'll need to gather the following documents:

• Proof of identity (e.g., passport, birth certificate)
• Proof of Maryland residency (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement)
• Social Security number (SSN)
• Payment for the replacement fee

Step 2: Visit an MVA Office

Once you have your documents, visit the nearest MVA office. You can find a list of MVA offices here: https://mva.maryland.gov/locations/Pages/MVA-Locations.aspx

Step 3: Fill Out an Application

At the MVA office, you'll need to fill out an application for a replacement license. The application will ask for your personal information, such as your name, address, and date of birth.

Step 4: Pay the Fee

The fee for a replacement license is $25. You can pay the fee by cash, check, or credit card.

Step 5: Get Your New License

Once you've paid the fee, you'll be given a temporary license. Your permanent license will be mailed to you within 10-14 business days.
