Introduction
If you’re the owner of a NSW registered vehicle and your registration certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can apply for a paper replacement online.
You’ll receive the replacement paper certificate within 7 business days. If you need it sooner, you can:
- visit a Service NSW Centre, or
- replace your registration certificate for free by opting in to get a digital registration certificate.
