Special situation
Replace plates or registration credentials in Missouri
Use this path when Missouri plates, tabs, or registration credentials are missing, damaged, or unusable and you need valid credentials before driving or renewing.
What to gather first
- proof of ownership or registration
- completed Application for Replacement Plate(s)/Tab(s) (Form 1576)
- replacement-plate fee payment
- Missouri license office handling for the replacement credentials
Likely next steps
- Use Missouri's replacement-plate or credential process before assuming a normal renewal will fix the missing registration materials.
- Determine whether you need replacement plates, tabs, a registration receipt, or some combination of those items.
- Submit the replacement request through a Missouri license office and return to the normal renewal cycle after the record is current.
