Replace lost plates or registration credentials in Mississippi

What to gather first

• plate number, VIN, or current registration details
• owner identity and current mailing address
• police report or theft details if applicable
• payment for replacement credentials

Likely next steps

1. Use the replacement-credentials workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
2. Check whether the state allows replacement plates, stickers, or registration cards online; if not, use the office locator below.
3. If the credentials were stolen, confirm whether the state expects a theft report or additional identity checks.
4. Carry any temporary confirmation the state allows while waiting for new plates or registration materials.

Official starting points
