How Can I Replace Lost or Misplaced Registration Card
I lost my car's registration card. What's the best way to get a replacement? I've contacted the DMV, but have no desire to go to their office and wait in line.
Answer
No need to go to the DMV. You can do it online. Getting a replacement registration card or registration sticker using NeedTags is very easy. Use our online registration replacement system and we'll mail you new stickers and registration card as soon as tomorrow. We can even give you a e-Card of your registration same-day for free. All you need is your vehicle's license plate number and last 3 digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN). If the original registration card or sticker is found it will no longer be valid and should be destroyed or returned to the DMV.
