Page OverviewAct fast if you lose your registration or your tabs (license plate decals). This is not the time to procrastinate. Especially if you are a police magnet. If stopped without either, expect a fine, regardless of how sound your excuse.Replacing Tabs
To replace your tabs, complete a Vehicle Registration Application and drop it off at any customer service center. Cost: $1. You'll need to show your license and registration.
Replacing Registration
To get a new registration card immediately, apply in person at any customer service center. Bring your driver's license and title. You'll need to complete a Vehicle Registration Application and pay a $2 fee.
You can also replace your registration online. The lone flaw with this option is that it will take up to 15 days to receive your new registration in the mail, so remember to print out your receipt to show, in case you're pulled over. The cost is $2, paid by a credit card.
