You can request a replacement for a lost, stolen, or damaged Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) license plate, decal sticker, ID Card, or license complaint sign. 

If the item you want to replace was stolen, you must file a lost property report with law enforcement and give DCA the complaint number. 

You can submit a License Replacement request in person at the DCA Licensing Center or online.
