What to bring

  • completed Form MV-7 application for replacement license plate, decal, or registration
  • license plate, registration, or decal details for the vehicle
  • theft details or police report information when the plate was stolen
  • payment for any Georgia replacement-credential fee

Likely next steps

  1. Use Georgia's replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
  2. Bring the replacement application and supporting documents to the county tag office when in-person handling is required.
  3. If the plate was stolen, keep the theft details ready when the tag office asks for them.
  4. Confirm whether you also still need a normal renewal after the replacement is processed.
