How Do I?

Obtain a Refund
All refund requests must be made within six months of the date of purchase. You may be eligible for a refund if:

• You have purchased a duplicate vehicle registration (two stickers or license plates) and you return the duplicate sticker or plates.
• A car dealer purchased new license plates for your vehicle and you have plates that are transferable. You must return the sticker and plates with a copy of the transfer transaction.
• You renewed your license plates and sold the vehicle before the registration year started. You must return the sticker and plates with a Sworn Statement stating the last date you operated the vehicle.
