How do I report a lost or stolen license plate?

Reporting a lost or stolen license plate in Michigan is an important step to take to prevent potential misuse of the plate. The Michigan Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) recommends that individuals report the loss or theft to their local law enforcement agency as soon as possible. This not only helps to protect the individual’s identity but also assists law enforcement in tracking any potential criminal activities associated with the stolen plate. After filing a report with law enforcement, individuals should then notify the Michigan DMV. This can typically be done by completing a specific application for the replacement of a lost or stolen license plate. Individuals may find the necessary forms and additional instructions on the current Michigan DMV website. There may also be a fee for replacing the license plate, so reviewing all details before proceeding is advisable. This process can help ensure that the individual is protected and that their vehicle is properly documented.
