If you suddenly discover your vehicle registration certificate missing, you'll need to act fast in applying for a replacement. All Washington drivers, by law, must carry proof of car registration when behind the wheel. Otherwise, if stopped, you may be ticketed, regardless if the DOL indicates your registration is in good standing.

Register Car in WA and Apply for Duplicate Car Registration

To order a replacement, visit your local DOL office and complete a duplicate car registration application (not downloadable). Be sure to have with you:

  • Proof of photo identification. 
  • Payment to cover $5 duplicate vehicle registration fee. You'll also be charged an additional $5 subagent fee if you apply at a licensing office rather than your county auditor. 

You'll exit the office with a new registration certificate.
