Need to replace a lost or damaged registration or license plate? We'll show you how to do it.

Replacing a Registration Certificate

To apply for a replacement registration certificate, head to a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) license agency. Make sure to bring some sort of identification with you, such as a driver's license or state ID card. Also take something that will identify the vehicle, such as the license plate number or the vehicle identification number (VIN). You'll need to fill out a form for the replacement. After completing this task and paying the $9 fee, you'll receive the replacement card and stickers.

What is a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)?


Replacing Damaged or Lost Plates

If your plates are in poor condition and you need replacements, go to a license agency with proper identification, such as your driver's license. You'll complete a form, pay $9, and receive your new plates.

If your plates were stolen or you just misplaced them, you'll need to take State Form 37135 to a law enforcement agency, where an officer will complete the form. Then, bring the form with you to a license agency with proper identification, such as your driver's license. You'll then receive replacement plates for $9.
