idaho drivers license replacement - ID

In Person

If your Idaho driver’s license is lost, damaged or destroyed, you may obtain a duplicate by applying at any sheriff’s office. In most cases, the examiner should be able to identify you from the digital photo on file along with any other documentation you can bring that identifies you (See Below for list of acceptable documents). If you find your lost driver’s license after a duplicate has been issued, it must be destroyed, or you may surrender the found license to the department or the county sheriff’s office. The duplicate driver’s license issued to you is the license that should be retained.
