Common Reasons for Plate or Tag Replacement
If your license plates, tags, or decals are missing, unreadable, or outdated, you may need a replacement. Many customers replace their plates due to theft, loss, damage, or wear over time. If you recently sold or transferred a vehicle, you may need to update your registration. In some cases, decals or tags may not arrive by mail, requiring a reissue.
What to Bring With You
To receive a new, replacement, or renewed plate or tag, bring your license plate or VIN number to verify your vehicle’s registration. You will also need your current driver’s license or ID card to confirm your identity.
