How to Replace Your Arizona Driver's License: Step-by-Step
Report theft if applicable
If your Arizona license was stolen, consider filing a police report — especially if you are concerned about identity theft. A report can also help if the license is used fraudulently.

Many Arizona drivers can order a duplicate license online through Arizona MVD if their name and address haven't changed. Check your eligibility before visiting an office.
Verify your identity
You will need to confirm your identity — typically your license number, date of birth, and last four digits of your Social Security number. This is done securely on the official Arizona MVD website only.
Pay the Arizona replacement fee
The Arizona driver's license replacement fee is $12. Pay directly on the official Arizona MVD site or at a Arizona MVD office. Never pay on unofficial websites.
Receive your replacement license
Your duplicate Arizona license arrives by mail, typically within 7–14 days. You may receive a temporary paper document immediately. Your replacement has the same expiration date as your original.
