Fees for a lost car registration differ with each state, ranging from free (in four states) to as high as $70.80 in Texas. The process for replacing a lost registration DMV is simple. Your state's motor vehicle department handles all requests for duplicate registration cards.

Most states require visiting a DMV office in person, but some do allow applying online or by mail. Though applying in person can be an inconvenience, it guarantees receiving your new registration certificate immediately. Which is important, since all state laws require carrying proof of registration while driving.
