How to replace a lost driver’s license in Arkansas

In most cases, if you lose your Arkansas driver’s license, you will need to either request a duplicate online or in person at the DMV. Ironically, the process of getting your license back is just as easy as losing it (meaning they’re both pretty easy to do).

If you have reason to believe someone has stolen your license and is using it, you should report it as identity theft to local authorities immediately.

Replacing a lost Arkansas license online

Replacing a lost license can be a hassle—but fortunately, you can request a

duplicate license online

through the AR DMV’s website.

To initiate the replacement process, visit the DFA duplicate license application

portal

. You will need to provide basic information to verify your identity, including:

Last name

Date of birth

Driver’s license number

Last five digits of your Social Security number

Follow the prompts for the online application process, and prepare to pay $10 for a duplicate copy. Your replacement card should arrive by mail in three business days or less.

Replacing a lost Arkansas license in person

If you decide to replace your lost license in person, you’ll need to visit your local Arkansas revenue office or DMV.

The first step to get your duplicate driver’s license is to pre-register online. You will save time by starting the application process ahead of time, and you will be given a case number to bring to the DMV.

The portal will also explain exactly what sort of documentation you will need, but you can also use the driver’s license

required documents list

. Generally, you will need to present:

One document as proof of legal presence

Social Security number

One document as proof of identify

Two documents as proof of AR residency (only required if also updating to a REAL ID)

Bring payment for the $10 duplicate fee and prepare to take a new photo at the issuing driver’s license office.
