How to Replace a Lost or Stolen REAL ID in Montana
Having a Montana REAL ID is a great way to prove your identity for a variety of purposes. However, if you lose or have your REAL ID stolen, you will need to take steps to replace it. This article put together by MVD Express Montana will provide you with the information you need to know to replace a lost or stolen REAL ID in Montana.
First and foremost, you will need to plan a visit to your local Montana Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. Before you go, ensure you have proper documentation such as proof of identity, like a valid passport, birth certificate, or permanent resident card. You will also need to bring proof of your Montana address, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
Visit the DMV
Once at your local Department of Motor Vehicles office, you will need to fill out an application for a replacement REAL ID. When you arrive, make sure you bring all the required documents with you. You will also need to fill out the “REAL ID Replacement Form”. This form can be found on the DMV’s website. This application will include questions about your identity, such as your name, address, and date of birth. It will also ask for your social security number, as well as any supporting documents that you may have.
Re-Apply
After you have filled out the application, you will be asked to pay the applicable fee. This state charge typically falls around $20 . Depending on your situation, you may also need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of name or address change.
Pay the Fee
Once your application is complete and approved, and your fee has been paid, you will receive your replacement REAL ID in the mail. After payment is completed, the DMV will issue you a temporary ID card while they process your application. This can take up to 10 days, so be sure to keep a copy of your temporary ID in the meantime. It may take up to two weeks for your new REAL ID to arrive, maximum. If you are awaiting your REAL ID past the two-week mark, reach out to your local DMV.
