After a loved one’s passing, you may need to deal with items such as driver’s licenses, license plates, and disabled person placards that have specific rules governing how they are discarded. Because some of these items can be used toward identity theft, it is important you follow these rules. 

All items (Driver’s License, Disabled Person Placard, License Plate) can be mailed with a copy of the death certificate to any Secretary of State office or dropped off to any Secretary of State office with a note explaining the reason for surrendering. Such items should be held together via package or tape. The Branch Office Locator can be used to locate a nearby Secretary of State office.
