Vehicle license plates; applying for a replacement in the event of theft, loss or illegibility

If you have lost one or both of your vehicle's license plates, if they have been stolen or if they are no longer legible, a new license plate must be issued. The stolen or lost license plate will not be issued again for at least 10 years and will be marked with a tracing notice.

This is the only way to prevent you from being charged if third parties commit administrative offenses or criminal acts with your old license plates.

You may not operate your vehicle without license plates.
