If the original document is damaged but partially intact, what must be submitted with the replacement request?

When a document is partially damaged but still intact, submitting the remaining pieces of the document is essential for a replacement request. This is because the DMV needs evidence of the original document's existence and condition to verify its authenticity and to process the replacement correctly. By providing the partial pieces, it demonstrates that the document was indeed issued and helps prevent fraudulent claims for replacements.

The requirement to submit these remnants helps ensure that only legitimate requests are fulfilled, and that individuals are not attempting to replace documents under false pretenses. Having tangible evidence of the original document assists the DMV in validating the request and maintaining the integrity of the documentation process.
