How do I replace a lost or stolen license plate?

Asked a year ago
To replace a lost or stolen license plate in New York, you can submit an application for a duplicate plate through the DMV. You will need to provide information about your vehicle, the reason for needing a replacement plate, and pay a fee for the replacement. If your plate was stolen, you should also report the theft to the police and provide a copy of the police report when applying for the replacement. Once your application is processed, you will receive a new license plate to affix to your vehicle. It is important to replace a lost or stolen plate promptly to avoid any issues with law enforcement or your vehicle registration.
