Special situation
Replace lost plates or registration credentials in Georgia
Use this path when Georgia plates, decals, or registration materials are missing, damaged, or stolen and you need valid credentials before driving or renewing.
What to gather first
- 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
- Use Georgia's replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
- Bring the replacement application and supporting documents to the county tag office when in-person handling is required.
- If the plate was stolen, keep the theft details ready when the tag office asks for them.
- Confirm whether you also still need a normal renewal after the replacement is processed.
