§ 45-35-9. Duplicates; fee; return of original.
 

(1)  If an identification card issued under this article is lost, destroyed or mutilated, or a new name is required, the person to whom it was issued may obtain a duplicate by furnishing satisfactory proof of such fact to the department. The same identifying data shall be furnished for a duplicate as for an original card. A fee of Three Dollars ($3.00) plus the applicable photograph fee shall be collected for the first duplicate card issued and a fee of Eight Dollars ($8.00) plus the applicable photograph fee shall be collected for the second and each subsequent duplicate copy. However, whenever a duplicate copy of an identification card is issued only because a new name is required and the previously issued identification card is returned to the department, the fee for the issuance of such duplicate shall be Three Dollars ($3.00) plus the applicable photograph fee, regardless of whether the duplicate is the first, second or subsequent duplicate copy. All fees  collected under this section, except photograph fees, shall be deposited into the State General Fund. Photograph fees collected under this section shall be deposited into a special photograph fee account or into the State General Fund in the same manner as photograph fees collected from the issuance of drivers' licenses under Section 63-1-43. 

(2)  Any person who loses an identification card and who, after obtaining a duplicate, finds the original card shall promptly surrender the original card to the department.
