What Do I Do if I Lose My Vehicle Registration?

Answer:
If you lose your vehicle registration, you

will need to replace it. Driving a car without proper vehicle registration is considered a violation that can be ticketed. The steps you take to replace your vehicle registration depend on the state in which you live.

In most states, you will notify the DMV or the title and registration office that you need a new vehicle registration. They will give you an application to fill out, and you will need to pay a fee for the replacement. The application will typically be a different application than the one you used to apply for your registration the first time. This can sometimes be done online. For more specific instructions, visit the DMV website for your state.
