IMPORTANT

Make at least two copies of your permit after you receive it!

Keep the original in your wallet or purse, keep a photocopy in your personal files at home or somewhere safe and give a photocopy to your employer. If you lose your original, you can use a photocopy as your backup permit until you need to renew it when it expires. If you don't make photocopies and you need a replacement, it will cost you $10 for a new one.

If you did not save a copy of your original, you can request a replacement permit.
