You can sometimes do this online, but it\u2019ll most likely require a trip to your local DMV.&nbsp; Once you get to the DMV you\u2019ll be able to get a temporary license while your new one gets mailed to you.&nbsp; You\u2019ll also be able to request a new license number and a \u201cverify ID\u201d tag on your old license, which alerts law enforcement that someone might attempt to use your old license number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quickly going to the DMV will also ensure no one can attempt to use your old license to commit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/what-everyone-should-know-about-address-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change of address fraud<\/a> and get sensitive mail sent elsewhere.\u00a0 It also isn\u2019t a bad idea to request a copy of your driving record to make sure there aren\u2019t any negative marks placed on your record as a result of your stolen license (such as a speeding ticket given to someone using your license).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"file-report\">File a Police Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your license was stolen you\u2019ll want to go to your local police station to file a police report.&nbsp; This will ensure that if any negative marks (traffic tickets, etc.) are added to your record after your license was stolen, it will be easier to dispute and get your record cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact-cb\">Contact Credit Bureaus&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Step-by-step instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contact each of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request a flag on your credit for potential fraud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request a credit freeze<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the scariest aspects of having your ID stolen is the prospect of what criminals might do with your identity.\u00a0 One of the most damaging aspects of having your identity stolen is the potential damage to your credit score.\u00a0 This can often happen via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/what-is-synthetic-identity-theft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">synthetic identity theft<\/a>.\u00a0 This is when criminals use your ID and license number paired with a fake social security (and other information) to open new lines of credit, often resulting in long-term credit headaches for the victim.  If your license is stolen, reach out to the major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) and put a flag on your credit for potential fraud.\u00a0 To ensure you\u2019re fully protected, it\u2019s also a good idea to put a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/credit-freeze-vs-lock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">temporary freeze<\/a> on your credit so no one

alerted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed a lack of mail, contact the USPS to ensure no changes have been made, and to report any potential mail fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
