You must replace a motorcycle license in Arizona if your license is lost, stolen or damaged, since it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle without a license in your possession. Therefore, if you have lost your license or have had your credential stolen, you should request a copy as soon as possible.

An AZ motorcycle license replacement can be requested at a local MVD, by phone or online. This provides residents with numerous methods of obtaining a duplicate, making the process quite convenient. This is especially relevant to residents who have lost their license while they are out of state. To learn more about the duplicate motorcycle license process, including application methods, required documentation and fees, review the information in the sections below.

When is a motorcycle license replacement required in Arizona?

In the event of a lost motorcycle license or one that has been stolen or damaged, you will need to request a replacement from the Arizona MVD. It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle without a valid license on your person, making it crucial that you submit your request for a replacement right away.

While the state does not require you to also file a report with your local law enforcement, doing so can help you to protect yourself from identity theft. Having a police report may be useful if someone uses your license for fraudulent activities, since it is usually sufficient proof that your original license was not in your possession at the time of the fraud.
