What to gather first

  • plate number, registration details, or other credential information
  • government-issued identification for the registered owner
  • theft details if the plates or credentials were stolen
  • payment for replacement plates, decals, or registration credentials

Likely next steps

  1. Use Utah's replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will solve the problem.
  2. Choose the plate, decal, or registration-certificate path below based on what is actually missing.
  3. Bring owner identification and any theft details the office may ask for before submitting the replacement request.
  4. Carry any temporary confirmation Utah allows while you wait for the new credentials to arrive.
