If your license plate or emblem is lost, mutilated or stolen, you must obtain a replacement.

To obtain a replacement, you must:

• Complete and sign an Application for Replacement Plate or Emblem form.
• Submit your current certificate of registration.
• If your license plates have been mutilated or defaced, you must surrender both your front and back plates.
• If only one plate has been lost or stolen, you must bring in your one remaining plate.

You must have a current and valid Hawai'i Certificate of Safety Inspection to obtain a replacement license plate or emblem.

If you are within 45 days of vehicle registration renewal, you must renew your vehicle registration before a replacement plate will be issued.

The fee to replace both the license plates and emblem is $5.50.

The fee to replace only an emblem is 50 cents.

Please make an appointment under Replace Hawaii License Plates.
