15.01.210 Issuance of Replacement or Duplicate Plates

Whenever current registration plates are illegible, lost or destroyed the owner of the vehicle shall immediately apply to the Registrar for replacements. Upon satisfactory proof of the loss or destruction of the plates and upon payment of a fee of $5.00 and the cost of replacement, the Registrar shall issue a replacement.

Upon receipt of his replacement plates, the applicant shall forthwith surrender to the Registrar his illegible plates. When issuing replacement plates, the Registrar may assign a new number and issue new plates rather than a duplicate of the original if in his judgment that is in the best interest of the economy or prevention of fraud. In such event, the person receiving the replacement plates shall surrender current plate(s).
