Lost my California drivers license out of state?

I lost my California drivers license, phone, and debit card to the bottom of a lake…
There's absolutely no way I can go back to California because of work.
How can I get a new license?
I had an IPhone, will my contacts/pictures be restored when I get a new iPhone?

Sorry, but the ONLY way to get a duplicate license is to appear personally at a DMV office. You can understand that this is a necessary protection against identity theft.

If you uploaded your contacts, etc., to the cloud, you will be able to access them with a new phone and your old password.

You'll need to visit the DMV when you get back home to get a replacement driver's license. Contact the bank to replace the debit card, and if you had insurance on the phone, contact the company and arrange for the phone to be replaced. If you had an online backup of the phone, the contents may be recovered. Photos are often sent to the cloud. If you had done that, they will still be there.

You won't be able to replace these things until you return home.

  • When texting an out-of-state number, must you put a 1 before the area code? I have an iPhone 5, I reside in Montana and I want to send a text to a non-iPhone user who has an Oregon pre-fix.
  • What do snow plow drivers do when its not snowing? I have a quick question. What do snow plow people do for work during the months when there's no snow? I know this seems like a dumb question. There's a girl in my class who said her father drives a snow plow. She seems to always have new clothes and she has an iphone so they must be able to afford it. Or do they just get paid so much during the winter that they don't have to work the rest of the year?
