What to bring

  • plate number or registration details
  • owner identification
  • eligible vehicle information for self-service station handling when offered
  • payment for replacement plates, tab, or registration credentials

Likely next steps

  1. Use Michigan's replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the missing plate or tab.
  2. Decide whether the request fits an online, self-service station, mail, or branch path based on what is missing.
  3. Confirm whether you still owe a normal renewal after the replacement is processed.
