Sticker replacement FAQs
Can I start a replacement request online?
Yes. Use our application to send your vehicle and contact information. Our team will review the request and explain the next steps. Some situations require a different process.
Will a replacement sticker renew my registration?
No. Replacement does not extend your registration period. Let us know if your registration is due or expired so we can help you choose the right service.
What if my address has changed?
Tell our team before proceeding. The address on your DMV record may need to be updated. Entering a delivery address does not automatically update that record.
Do I need to order a registration card separately?
DMV’s replacement sticker order includes a new registration card. Tell our team exactly which items you need so we can avoid duplicate requests.
How long will my replacement take?
Timing depends on eligibility, complete information, processing, and delivery. Our team can explain your next steps. Shipping begins after processing.
What if I only need a month sticker?
Tell us which sticker is missing before proceeding. DMV offers replacement month stickers at no charge through its field offices or by phone when eligible. Our assistance may involve separate service fees.
What if I find the original sticker after ordering a replacement?
DMV says to destroy the original sticker reported lost, stolen, or damaged after placing a replacement order. Do not use both stickers.
Let’s help you replace that missing sticker.
