Vermont § 514 - Replacement number plates

§ 514. Replacement number plates

• (a) In case of the loss of a number plate, the owner of the motor vehicle to which it
  was assigned shall immediately notify the Commissioner of such loss, and the Commissioner
  shall furnish such owner with a new plate. The fee charged shall be $15.00 for each
  plate. The owner of a motor vehicle who has lost one number plate may operate the
  owner’s vehicle with only one number plate attached until a new plate is furnished
  to the owner, provided the owner notified the Commissioner as required under this
  section. (b) Any replacement number plate shall be issued at a fee of $15.00. However, if the Commissioner,
  in the Commissioner’s discretion, determines that a plate has become illegible as
  a result of deficiencies in the manufacturing process or by use of faulty materials,
  the replacement fee shall be waived. (Amended 1969, No. 276 (Adj. Sess.), § 6; 1981, No. 81, § 1, eff. May 5, 1981; 1989, No. 51, § 33; 2001, No. 102 (Adj. Sess.), § 20, eff.
