Important Information

Body
  • A replacement vehicle licence is different from renewing an expired vehicle licence.
  • If your vehicle licence has expired, you must follow the vehicle licence renewal process.
  • If you have lost your vehicle registration certificate or proof of ownership, a different replacement process applies.
  • Contact the DMV to confirm whether your vehicle must be presented for inspection when requesting a replacement sticker.
