Driver's licenses: identification cards: duplicates.

Existing law provides for the issuance and renewal of driver's licenses and identification cards by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law requires, if a person's driver's license is lost, destroyed or mutilated, or if a new true full name is acquired, that the person obtain a duplicate driver's license. This bill would require the department to establish a procedure to enable the department to issue, and a person to obtain, a duplicate driver's license or identification card, as defined, without requiring the person to apply for the duplicate driver's license or identification card in person at a department office. The bill would require these procedures to prohibit the department from issuing a duplicate driver's license or identification card if there has been a material change in any information listed on the driver's license or identification card since its prior issuance.
