Duplicate License/Certificate

Any licensee and/or registrant can request a duplicate wall certificate or wallet (pocket) license to replace one that has been lost, stolen, or mutilated. A duplicate certificate also may be requested for an address or name change.

If the request is for an address change, name change or the license has been mutilated, the original wall certificate and/ or last wallet (pocket) license issued must be surrendered to the Licensing Program.

An Application for Duplicate Certificate must be completed, notarized and submitted with the appropriate fee. Please allow 4-6 weeks for receipt of the new certificate and/or license.
