Do I need to report a stolen driving license?
Where should I report my stolen driving license? I think someone took my license out of my purse and I’m not sure who I should contact about it. Do I need to call the police?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with this! Yes, it’s a good idea to report your stolen
driving license
to the police as soon as possible. In fact, in some states, it’s required that you do this.The earlier you report your stolen license the better since someone could try to use your license for identity theft or for a similar purpose. If you create a paper trail early, it will be much easier to prevent identity theft and get a new license quickly.
You should also update your insurance company. While you’re at it, check out the
