What to bring

  • 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

  1. Use Missouri's replacement-plate or credential process before assuming a normal renewal will fix the missing registration materials.
  2. Determine whether you need replacement plates, tabs, a registration receipt, or some combination of those items.
  3. Submit the replacement request through a Missouri license office and return to the normal renewal cycle after the record is current.
