Missouri Form 1576 – Application for Replacement Plates & Tabs (Fillable PDF)

Form 1576 is the official Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) application used when you need a replacement for lost, stolen, mutilated, destroyed, or never‑received license plates or registration tabs. The form must be notarized before submission, and it includes sections for vehicle details, owner information, and payment.

What Is Form 1576 and When Is It Required?

Missouri drivers file Form 1576 whenever any of the following occurs:

  • License plates are lost or stolen.
  • Registration tabs are missing, damaged, or never received.
  • Plates are mutilated, destroyed by fire, flood, or other accident.
  • You need a duplicate set because the original was never delivered.

The form is processed by the Missouri DOR and must be accompanied by the appropriate fee and a notarized signature.

Common Mistakes & Tips for a Successful Submission

  • Missing notarization: The DOR will reject the form without a notarized signature.
  • \n
  • Incorrect VIN: Double‑check the Vehicle Identification Number; a typo can delay processing.
  • Fee amount: Verify the current replacement fee on the DOR website before paying.
  • Incomplete sections: Leave no required field blank; use “N/A” only when the form explicitly allows it.

Following these tips helps ensure a quick turnaround and avoids unnecessary trips to the DOR office.

FAQ
  • Do I need a notarized signature on Form 1576?

    Yes. Missouri law requires a notarized signature on Form 1576 before the DOR will process your replacement request.

  • Can I submit Form 1576 electronically?

    The DOR currently accepts only paper submissions. Use the fillable PDF to avoid errors, then print and have it notarized before mailing or delivering it in person.

  • How much does a replacement plate or tab cost?

    Fees vary by vehicle type and plate style. Check the latest fee schedule on the Missouri DOR website before paying.

  • What if my VIN is incorrect on the form?

    An incorrect VIN will delay processing. Verify the VIN on your registration or title and correct any typos before submitting.

  • Do I need to provide proof of ownership?

    A copy of your current registration or title is recommended, but not mandatory if the DOR can verify ownership through the VIN and your personal information.

  • How long does it take to receive replacement plates?

    Processing time is typically 7–10 business days after the DOR receives a complete, notarized Form 1576 and the required fee.

  • Can I use Form 1576 for a personalized plate replacement?

    Yes, Form 1576 covers all standard, personalized, and specialty plates as long as the reason is loss, theft, or damage.

ABOUT

Vehicle Registration Forms

If you own or lease a motor vehicle, trailer or boat, you must meet certain obligations to keep your vehicle legally registered and safe.

Form 1576 is one of Vehicle registration forms that are documents that are used to register a motor vehicle with the relevant state or provincial authority. These forms are typically required when a person purchases a new or used vehicle or when they move to a new state or province with a vehicle.

The exact requirements and forms needed for vehicle registration can vary by location, but generally, the process involves providing information about the vehicle, the owner, and any liens on the vehicle.

Once the registration forms and fees are submitted, the state or provincial authority will issue a registration certificate or license plate to the owner of the vehicle. This registration allows the vehicle to be legally operated on public roads and highways.
