Description
I lost my NC REAL ID driver's license yesterday around 4pm. I think I dropped it near the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, or possibly in the CVS parking lot on US-158. It’s the standard North Carolina REAL ID card, blue-tinted plastic, with my photo and the REAL ID star in the corner. The card has a small scratch along the top edge and a tiny dent near the bottom-right corner, which should help you spot it. I really need it back for work and travel—it's essential for my day-to-day stuff.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
