Which action is not part of the process to replace a lost license certificate?

• A. The board's approval
• B. Submitting an affidavit
• C. Paying a duplicate fee
• D. Filing a police report

Answer: (A)

Replacing a lost license certificate is handled through the licensing board by following the standard administrative steps, not by seeking a new approval from the board. The board will issue a duplicate once you complete the required forms and meet the steps. Typically you would submit an affidavit of loss, pay the duplicate certificate fee, and provide any needed identifying information. If the loss involves potential fraud or theft, a police report may be requested to document the incident. The action that is not part of the process is obtaining explicit prior approval from the board—the duplicate is issued after the usual paperwork and payment are completed.
