A duplicate registration can be obtained at any DMV branch location or at a AAA branch office (members only). The replacements are $18.50. You have to fill out this form: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/registration/TR-1.pdf And, if the plate is lost or stolen, you have to file a police report and fill out this for: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/registration/AffidavitCancellationRegistrationLostPlates.pdf If the plate(s) is/are damaged, fill out this form: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/registration/RemakeLicensePlate.pdf You can apply by mail. Send the Application for Registration to the Division of Motor Vehicles Attn: Registration Duplicate, 600 New London Avenue, Cranston RI 02920
You're going to have to re register your vehicle to get new plates, which means canceling your current registration and applying for a new one. So you will be pro rated with however much time you have left on your current registration
