Replacing licenses lost in the fire
People who lost their driver’s license in
last week’s wildfires can apply for a replacement license as long as the original license has not expired, according to the state Department of Public Safety. Any tag agent can verify the photograph on file and other security features without documents, said Karen Gentry, director of driver license examining. All CDL holders, however, will be required to see a driver license examiner before acquiring a replacement. Call 425-7745 or your local driver examiner for more information.
