Potentially Defective License Plate Contact Form



We have encountered a small number of defective license plates in which the protective coating is bubbling around the digits. The Secretary of State's office has issued a press release notifying customers that license plates exhibiting this defect will be replaced by the manufacturer at no charge to the consumer.

If you have one or more defective license plates, air pockets forming around the digits or peeling of the clear protective coating, please leave the defective plates on the vehicle and complete the form below.

A new set of license plates will be ordered reflecting the same license plate number(s) and mailed to you in approximately 45 days from receipt of the defective license plate contact form.
