If your driver's license or ID card was lost, a replacement fee is required. However, if the license or ID card was stolen and reported to law enforcement, the fee may be reduced with a copy of the law enforcement report if it is presented when the replacement is requested in a Service Center. If you are Real ID compliant with a Gold Star on your card, please see the appropriate category below. If you are unsure if you have met the Real ID requirements and have a Gold Star on your driver's license or ID card, call our office at 941.861.8300, option 2 to determine which documents are required to obtain a replacement card.
