About twice a year I take all the cards out of my wallet, scan them front and back on a color scanner (I can just barely fit them all on one scan) and save the scans (front and back) onto my hard drive. Then I "print" them to a single PDF file and then save that PDF file as password protected.Redwood Lenny wrote:Since misplacing my wallet for several hours todayI've been mulling over contingency plans.

I then attach that password protected PDF file to an email message and save it in the DRAFT folder of one of my email accounts that I am able to access from any web browser, including my mobile phone.
Now... this may have absolutely zero weight with law enforcement, but, worst case scenario, I can retrieve a color copy of my licenses from any web browser. I do this mainly in case my wallet is lost or stolen and I need to call in and cancel my credit cards, but, it also serves as a backup for licenses.
Option 2..?? Memorize your DL number. If a LEO can pull up your DL, they'll see your picture and the CHL annotation in your DL record.
In my case a second license would not solve the problem of what to do when I misplace my wallet since I keep my reciprocal license in my wallet next to my TX CHL..
