What to gather first

  • plate number or registration information
  • current owner information and county office details
  • payment for replacement plates, tabs, or registration credentials

Likely next steps

  1. Use Colorado's replacement-credential path before assuming a normal renewal will fix the missing plate or tabs.
  2. Confirm exactly which plate or credential is missing so the county office can issue the right replacement.
  3. Replace the missing credential first, then return to the normal renewal cycle.
