A: First: Don’t panic. It’s not a terribly umon situation, and there’s always a chance a good samaritan will drop it in the mail or take it to the DMV. However, you also shouldn’t take any chances:
1) Some states want you to contact local police if your license is lost or stolen, so you may wish to try your local non-emergency line to report the loss.
2) It’s always possible that an identity thief could use it tomit fraud. You or your son should consider signing him up for identity theft protection, that way he can be alerted if someone attempts to open an account in his name. In fact, TrustedID has a family plan, which may be a good option for you. I don’t know how old your son is, but young people are favorite targets of identity theft since they don’t check their credit reports often.
