What to bring

  • current plate and registration details
  • replacement request through New Jersey MVC
  • details about whether the plate is lost, stolen, damaged, or unreadable
  • replacement-plate or duplicate-registration fee when MVC requires one

Likely next steps

  1. Use New Jersey's replacement-plate or registration-credential process before assuming a standard renewal will fix the issue.
  2. Determine whether you need a plate replacement, duplicate registration credential, or both.
  3. Follow MVC's official plate guidance for any appointment, surrender, or fee requirements.
