Question: how to get a new driver's license in california if lost?
Answer: If your DL is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must go to a DMV field office, complete the DL 44/eDL 44 form (the eDL44 can be completed online in advance), and pay a fee for the replacement. You should also present a photo ID. If DMV cannot confirm your identity, you will not be issued a temporary DL.
