When one of these is lost or stolen, it may be replaced for a small fee. To replace a lost or stolen plate, decal, or registration, visit your local DMV office with a copy of the most recent registration, license plate number, or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The fee for the replacement depends on the item being replaced:

  • Standard License Plate – $11.00 (This includes a new set of plates, decals and registration)
  • Special Group License Plate – $16.00 (This includes a new set of plates, decals and registration)

  • Registration (Off-Highway) – $3.00

Plate replacements can also be obtained by mail. To do this, send in a written request, a copy of the registration certificate and $4.00 postage (except for personalized plates, as the $15.00 fee already includes postage), in addition to the fee listed above to:
