How to replace a lost driving permit in 2026. 

You will need the following items first. 

1. Original Police Report: Visit the nearest police station to report the loss and obtain a stamped report.

2. Valid National ID: For Ugandans (or a NIRA verification letter). Foreigners need a valid passport and visa/work permit.

3. Payment Registration Number (PRN): Generated from the URA or Ministry of Works portal.

4. Application Form: Usually provided and filled at the UDLS office (no medical form required for duplicates).

Here is the Step-by-Step Process

1. Generate & Pay: Create a PRN online for a "Duplicate Driving Licence."

Cost: 121,000 UGX (Standard) or 60,000 UGX (Motorcycles).

2. Payment: Pay via Mobile Money, PayWay, or any bank. Note: UDLS offices do not accept cash.

3. Visit UDLS: Go to a UDLS branch (e.g., Railway Station in Kampala or regional offices in Mbarara, Gulu, Mbale, etc.).

4. Biometrics & Printing: They will verify your identity, capture fresh biometrics if necessary, and print your duplicate permit.

That's it.
