So....
Lost my wallet and the license with it.
Anything I need to pay attention to before asking for replacement? Specific question is - I took a quick look at the application for replacement and they seem to be asking for the license number. And I have no idea what is it. I realize that I should've taken the picture, but here we are...
Anybody had an experience with this?
 
Wow!! That sucks, I never lost mine, however I will take a picture of mine now. So you can’t carry your firearm until you get a new one? I thought the license number was the same as your drivers license number. Maybe not

The license # is just your DL/ID #. Idk if they still are but at one point they were requiring a police report to get replacement.

Edit, still says that on their website.

Duplicate Card Application
Please upload a lost/stolen property police report and a copy of your driver’s license. Proof of residency documents are not required.

Not sure about LA, but for OCSD we use the CCW pro portal. If you have a portal for where you upload documents, start there. Same way you’d renew..

It's illegal to carry without having the permit on you.
 
License number is the CII# on your ccw.

Not my ID just googled it.

This can vary by agency, but I just renewed my permit and had to ask them a couple months ago and they told me to use my ID #.

They should be able to identify your permit using either as they’re both unique to you.

I believe your CCW license number can be retrieved from the permit application website. Your application number is your CCW license number, at least my IA is that way.
