What to bring

  • North Dakota plate number, VIN, or registration record details
  • owner identity and current mailing address
  • police report or theft details when the state requires them
  • payment for North Dakota replacement-credential fees

Likely next steps

  1. Use North Dakota's replacement-plates or duplicate-registration path before relying on a normal renewal.
  2. Confirm whether North Dakota wants replacement plates, a duplicate registration, or both for your situation.
  3. Replace the missing or damaged credentials first so later renewal happens on a usable North Dakota record.
