Special situation

Use this path when Texas plates, registration stickers, or registration papers are missing, damaged, or stolen and you need valid credentials before driving or renewing.
What to gather first
- application for replacement plates, sticker, or credentials
- current government-issued photo identification
- copy of the current insurance card
- payment for replacement plates, sticker, or registration credentials
Likely next steps
- Use the Texas replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
- Use the county tax office locator below to confirm where the replacement must be handled.
- Confirm whether you also still need a normal renewal after the replacement is processed.
