No. The first thing you need to do is inform the police so that the stolen vehicle alarm would be cancelled. After you confirmed that it has already cancelled, you can then proceed to apply for plates or registration.
Would i need a duplicate title?
A duplicate title will be issued for stolen vehicle to mark the stolen vehicle. Remember to send your title to the Title Bureau along with a letter to explain that the vehicle have been recovered. After that, the DMV will issue a regular vehicle title.
Is there anything else that i need to do after i recover the vehicle?
