  Duplicate Registration, License Plate(s) or Tab

Address | Fees | Personalized Plates | Requirements

Alaska law requires that if a Certificate of Registration, license plate(s) or tab is lost, stolen, mutilated or becomes illegible, the registered owner shall apply for a duplicate.

Alaska law requires one license plate on motorcycles and trailers.  All other vehicles require two license plates.  Only one tab is issued regardless of whether one plate or two are issued.  Affix the tab to the rear license plate.

Application can be made by the registered owner or an authorized agent at a DMV Field Office,  Commission Agent Office or by mail (see address below), with the following exception. EXCEPTION:  License plates cannot be requested by mail unless the vehicle owner is outside of Alaska or when a DMV office is not available in your area. 

REQUIREMENTS::

  • Vehicle Transaction Application (State the reason for the request under "Comments")
  • Copy of previous registration, if available (for tab/plate requests)
  • Fees (see below)
