Nebraska Lost or Stolen Permit Replacement: Process and Temporary Document

Nebraska requires in-person visits for all permit replacements. No online options exist for Learner's Permits (LPD), School Permits (SCP/LPE), or Provisional Operator's Permits (POP).

Documents Required to Replace a Lost Nebraska Learner's Permit

Replacement requirements depend on what DMV already verified and whether your address changed.

• In-person replacement: Complete the required replacement transaction and current DMV 06-104 data form.
• Identity: Bring the identification DMV requires for the replacement transaction.
• Address proof: Two address documents are required when the address was not previously verified or when you moved; they are not a universal requirement for every replacement.

Check the official Nebraska DMV replacement guidance before going to the office.

What if I lost my Nebraska permit and also changed my address?

Tell DMV about the new address during the replacement visit. Nebraska requires two proofs of the new principal address when the address has changed, so bring those documents along with the identification required for the replacement.

Nebraska Permit Replacement Fee and Temporary Document

A lost, stolen or damaged permit replacement may require a replacement fee. Check the dedicated Nebraska permit fees guide or the current DMV fee schedule for the amount.

DMV may issue a temporary document while the permanent card is mailed. Permanent-card delivery timing belongs in the processing-time guide.

Nebraska Lost Permit Replacement: Timing and Process

Start the replacement process as soon as you discover that the permit is lost, stolen or unusable.

• Lost or stolen: Follow Nebraska DMV's replacement process and use the temporary document DMV issues when driving privileges apply.
• Damaged: Replace a card that can no longer be reliably used or read.
• Card never arrived: This is mainly a delivery issue; use the processing-time guide for the next step.

If the permit is missing before a road test, check the dedicated road-test documents guide for what the examiner will require.

A police report is not required simply to replace a Nebraska permit. If theft also creates an identity-theft concern, contact the Nebraska DMV Fraud Investigation Unit.

Can I replace a lost Nebraska learner’s permit at any Driver Licensing Office?

Yes. Nebraska requires Learner’s Permit replacements to be handled in person at a Driver Licensing Office, and its location guidance allows driver licensing services at Nebraska Driver Licensing Offices rather than only the office that first issued the permit.

What if I find my old Nebraska permit after the replacement is issued?

Do not use the old permit. Nebraska DMV states that once a replacement document is issued, the previously issued document is invalid and cannot be used as proof of identification.

Does replacing a lost Nebraska learner’s permit change its expiration date?

A replacement is not a renewal. It replaces the existing permit document; it does not restart the learner permit’s one-year validity period merely because a new card or temporary document was issued.

Can I reprint the temporary document after replacing my Nebraska permit? Yes, when the temporary document is eligible for the DMV service. Nebraska offers free online printing or reprinting of a 30-day temporary document for up to 30 days after its issue date.
