Replacing a Lost Registration

Lost, fortunately, does not mean permanent with Washington's Department of Licensing (DOL). Just about every car and license document can be replaced, including lost registration certificates and license tabs.
Don't procrastinate. Registration certificates and license tabs (square decals that affix to rear license plate) are mandatory. If you're stopped by the police while missing one or the other, expect a fine, regardless of how valid your explanation.
Replacing Lost Registration Certificates
To replace a lost registration simply visit any vehicle licensing office. Be sure to bring a picture ID (a license works perfectly). You'll be asked to complete a duplicate registration form (not downloadable) and pay a $5 fee (an additional $4 will be added if you apply at a licensing subagent office).
Replacing Lost Tabs
Replacing is fast and easy. Wander into any vehicle licensing office with photo identification and your vehicle's registration. You'll be asked to complete a lost tab form (not downloadable) and pay a $4.25 fee (an additional $4 will be added if you file at a licensing subagent office).
