Page OverviewNeed to replace your registration or license plates? Stick around, and we'll show you how to accomplish these tasks.
Registration
Replacing a lost or damaged registration is a breeze. Just visit a license agency or county tax collector office and you'll receive a replacement for $5. Be sure to bring identification.
Don't feel like heading out in the blazing Florida sun? You may also apply for a duplicate registration online.
License Plates and Decals
To replace lost, damaged, or defaced license plates or decals, fill out the duplicate license plate form, and take it to a county tax collector office. Bring your current registration. You'll have to pay a fee (which will vary) to replace the plates or decals. However, if police cited you to replace your plates, you won't have to pay the duplicate fee.
For stolen plates, follow the same procedure. However, also report the theft to law enforcement, and indicate this on the form. Replacements for stolen plates are free.
