Replacing a Lost License (in state)

If your driver license has been lost, destroyed, mutilated, or is illegible, apply for a duplicate at a Secretary of State branch office. Identification documents are required to issue a replacement license, such as certified birth certificates, U.S. or Canadian passports, marriage licenses, and photo identification cards issued by a Michigan governmental agency.  More than one document may be required.  All documents are subject to manager approval. Note:  Photocopies and facsimiles are not adequate proof. Only original documents will be accepted.

For additional information, contact our Information Center at 1-888-SOS-MICH  (1-888-767-6424).   You may also renew your driver license at the same time if your license expires within one year.
