When should you replace plates and stickers?
California law requires you to replace license plates and registration stickers immediately if they are lost, stolen, damaged or become illegible. Driving without readable plates or a current sticker can result in citations and fines, and law enforcement may consider it evidence of improper registration. You should also replace your plate or sticker if you never received the originals in the mail, or if the adhesive fails and the sticker peels off. For stolen plates, the DMV requires that you request substitute plates with a new configuration and submit a police report.
Documents and the replacement process
Replacing a plate or sticker involves more than just paying a fee; you’ll need to provide specific documents and complete the right application. Typically, you must submit a completed Application for Replacement Plates, Stickers and Documents (REG 156) or another applicable form that identifies the type of plate or decal you need. The DMV will ask for a valid photo ID — normally a California driver’s license or identification card — and if you use an out‑of‑state ID you must bring additional proof of identity such as a passport, military ID, student ID or employer ID. You must also show proof of vehicle ownership by presenting your current registration card or certificate of title, particularly if your address has changed. If your plates were stolen, a police report is required, and any remaining plates must be surrendered to the DMV. Our team helps you gather and complete these documents, verifies your ID and ownership paperwork and, if necessary, assists with filing the police report. We then issue your replacement plate and sticker on the spot or provide temporary plates and submit your application so the DMV can mail the final plates to you.
Special and personalized plates
If your vehicle has a personalized or special interest plate, replacing it requires additional paperwork. The DMV uses different forms for special recognition and special equipment plates, and personalized plates often take longer because they must be manufactured and shipped. Quick Tag & Title can assist with ordering new personalized plates, transferring existing designs to a new vehicle or reissuing special plates after loss or theft. We’ll verify which application you need, collect the required fees and provide a temporary plate while you wait for your new one to arrive.
