Of course. You may request a new set of plates at a DMV office, provided you bring the required documents with you.
Has your plate been lost or destroyed?
No, none of that.
So what if both of my plate were stolen or destroyed? What would I have to do then?
Then you need to notify the police, and ask the police to complete a police report. Bring the police report to a DMV office to surrender the vehicle registration.
How should I react when my vehicle is stolen?
In that case your insurance company will: 1) give you 2 barcoded original NY State Insurance ID cards or provide you with access to your digital electronic NY State Insurance ID Card 2) send an electronic notice of insurance coverage to the DMV (your insurance agent or broker cannot file this notice) Your NY State Insurance ID cards and the electronic notice together verify your coverage. We need both. You can find more information about stolen and recovered vehicles on our website.
Would you like to know more about other acceptable proofs of identity?
Sure, why not?
Say, what should I do if a plate is lost or destroyed?
