Alabama license replacement

How do you get an Alabama license replacement?

1. Try ALEA's online services first. Under My Card you can replace an existing license, ID or permit, or reprint a temporary one.
2. If you can't do it online, go to your county probate judge or license commissioner office.
3. Bring proof of identity, such as a certified birth certificate.
4. Pay the duplicate fee. ALEA's fee page doesn't list the amount, so check with the office.

Replacing a lost ID card

A non-driver ID card is replaced the same way, online or at a county office. If it's a STAR ID, renewals and duplicates can also be done at county license offices. Only the first STAR ID has to come from an ALEA examining office.

Changing your name or address

You have 30 days to tell ALEA about a new Alabama address. Updating it on your record is free, online or in person, but no new card is sent. For a name change, bring a marriage certificate or court order and an updated Social Security card to a county office or ALEA office, and pay the duplicate fee. If you have a STAR ID, the name change has to be at an ALEA office.

Don't make a false statement

The manual warns that a false affidavit to get a duplicate can be charged as forgery, perjury or both. ALEA doesn't mail licenses to a forwarding address, so make sure your address is current.
