Remember to make a reservation on the website. Without it you will be turned away. I had to renew my license on Friday last and as I was showing my reservation email, a woman who was just ahead of me had to go back to the website and make a new appointment because she had made her appointment for the wrong transaction! So be precise about what you need to at the DMV...
Sounds to me if you have lost plates - yes submit letter why don't you go in person to DMV and notorize directly via DMV with your license - So if someone uses your plate for a violent crime - Guess what you will not be held accountable.
I am not sure on that. You may have to call and ask
