How to Replace Your Nevada Driver's License: Step-by-Step

Report theft if applicable

If your Nevada 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.

Check online replacement eligibility

Many Nevada drivers can order a duplicate license online through Nevada DMV 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 Nevada DMV website only.

Pay the Nevada replacement fee

The Nevada driver's license replacement fee is $19.25. Pay directly on the official Nevada DMV site or at a Nevada DMV office. Never pay on unofficial websites.

Receive your replacement license

Your duplicate Nevada 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.
