What to bring

  • registration card
  • applicable substitute-plate, sticker, or duplicate-registration fee
  • owner identification and power of attorney if someone else is applying
  • online, branch, mail, or tag-and-title-service path depending on how you want to replace the credentials

Likely next steps

  1. Use Maryland's substitute-plate or duplicate-registration workflow before assuming a standard renewal will fix the missing credentials.
  2. Decide whether you need replacement plates, replacement stickers, a duplicate registration card, or some combination of those items.
  3. Use the online, mail, branch, or tag-and-title path that fits the credential problem and the owner's availability.
  4. Once the plate and credential record is current again, return to the normal renewal cycle.
