What to bring

  • completed Form VSA 14 for replacement plates or decals
  • plate, decal, or registration details for the vehicle
  • payment for the Virginia replacement-credential fee

Likely next steps

  1. Use Virginia's replacement-credential workflow before assuming a normal renewal will fix the problem.
  2. Use the mail or office handling path Virginia specifies for the replacement request.
  3. Confirm whether you need plates, decals, registration credentials, or all of them before submitting the request.
  4. Check whether you also still need a separate renewal after the replacement is processed.
