Do I need to fill in any form if I go to the DMV office to surrender my plates?
Yes. It is necessary. If you are planning to surrender your plates at a DMV office, you would need to complete the Plate Surrender Application PDF [ 1 ] PD-7 for each set of plates you are surrendering.
Can you explain the steps for lost, stolen or destroyed plates?
Yes. First report about the plates and  state the reason for the report. Next, you would need to surrender the registration. You will then be issued with a new registration and plates.
