What Do I Do if My License Plate is Stolen?

Answer:
If your license plate is stolen, you will need to report

the theft as soon as possible with the DMV office that you use to renew your plates. By reporting the plates as stolen, you will not be held responsible for any crimes that occur in a car with those plates.

Also, you will need to purchase replacement plates if you still intend to drive the vehicle that had the plates. The DMV office will have an application for you to use to apply for the replacement plates. You will also have to pay a small fee to have your license plates replaced.
