Has anyone here lost a driver's license? I have a question....

Weird question I know, but let's assume you lose your drivers license.
I know that you'll probably need a police report to get a new one, and perhaps again a letter from your sponsor.

But, could someone tell me that if you lose your license, does the expiration date of the new license remain the same as the old one? or is it extended another 5 years from the date of reissue?

If anyone knows, please share! Thanks a lot.

Ahhh, no. A friend lost their license which expires in a few months. They don't drive much, and are trying to figure out if they should just wait and use taxis until they have to renew the license so they don't have to pay twice.

Did you intended to save some money by losing the license instead of renewing it ?

Everything remains the same. The reissue is just a replacement of the lost one and is not a renewal.
