Lost drivers license in DC --HELP!

[Anonymous]

I hope someone else has been through this and can help me. I lost my drivers license recently and need to go to the DMV to get a new one. I've gone through the list of documents required to get a new license and have all of them, except for one. The final item on the list is "Proof of Ability to Drive" and the required documentation options are:
--US driver license, not expired for more than 90 days
--Out-of-state certified driving record (issued within the last 30 days) showing a valid license, not expired for more than 90 days
--Unexpired out-of-country driver license
--Unexpired DC learner permit and successful completion of road skills test

But I don't have a license! I lost it! That's the problem--how can I provide a license as proof to get a new one????
Anyone have suggestions for dealing with this madness?
I hate the idea of going to the DMV, standing in line, and being sent away for not having the right documentation.
Thanks,
DC driver

Oh wait!

It has to be out of state.

If it’s the same municipality, won’t DC have a record of your driving record?

When I lost my license, I just went online, filled out a form and paid like 20 bucks and they sent me a new one.

+1 I did the whole process online when I lost mine. You're not getting a new one, you're replacing a lost one that will be a replica (same expiration date) as your lost one. Those are different processes at the DC DMV.

You are looking at the wrong place. It was DC license, right? Order a duplicate for $20 and it arrives fast. I lost mine, ordered another online, found mine, and now I have two.
KISS principle here.

Yep, you aren't applying for a new license, you are looking for a duplicate license; no need to go to the DMV at all.
