Number Plate Lost.

sampathapg · January 10, 2016

The original number plate which issued from RMV has lost. How can I take a new number plate from RMV?

Please advice me.

If the plate was lost i think you need to file police report and then you can get a plate cause usually you need to return the old plate when getting a new plate.

But seriosly how does one loose a number plate ? did someone steal it ?

Did you lose both or one?

If its one, you can always say its fallen off.

But if you lost both, then you got some serious explaining to do...

Quoting the DMT website:

Obtaining the duplicate of number plate of a vehicle or a duplicate of the sticker of a vehicle bearing a number starting with English letters.

CMT 65 application form

A certified copy of the complaint lodged with the police on the loss of the number plate / sticker and the receipt of payment in that respect.

If a mortgage / an absolute ownership / a lease has been registered, a letter issued from the relevant institution intimating that it does not object to the issue of a duplicate of the number plate / sticker.

If the original of the number plate / sticker is disfigured or partially destroyed, the same should be submitted as well.

A photo copy of the national identity card.

CMT 65 can be downloaded from here.

You can hand over old numberplates (even the broken parts) and get new plates from the RMV

I think it costs around 3000
