What should you do if your Class C license is lost or stolen?

If your Class C license is lost or stolen, the appropriate action is to report it to the police and then apply for a replacement at the DMV. Reporting to the police creates an official record of the loss or theft, which is important for identity protection and can prevent fraudulent use of your license. Following this, visiting the DMV to apply for a replacement ensures that you receive a new license, allowing you to continue driving legally. This process is essential not only for maintaining your driving privileges but also for safeguarding your identity against potential misuse.

The other options are not advisable. Using other forms of ID might be insufficient if you need to drive legally, and waiting for the DMV to contact you is unrealistic because the responsibility of notifying them rests with you. Simply informing friends and family does not address the issue of having an unlicensed drive and does not take any steps toward resolution.
