Maryland Transportation Section 16-114

      (a)      In this section, "mutilated" includes any imperfection of or in a driver's license, after its issuance, that renders it unsuitable for identification purposes or for verifying its authenticity and validity.

      (b)      If a driver's license is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the licensee immediately shall apply for and, after furnishing information satisfactory to the Administration and payment of the required fee, is entitled to obtain a duplicate license. If the duplicate license being applied for is of a type requiring a photo and the licensee is temporarily absent from this State, the Administration may issue a regular license bearing the notation that it is valid without a photo until 15 days after the licensee first returns to this State.

      (c)      A licensee who is at least 21 years may apply for a duplicate license that includes a frontal photograph of the licensee.

      (d)      If a person recovers an original license for which a duplicate has been issued, the person promptly shall surrender the original license to the Administration.
