Acting quickly is important, and what you do first depends on whether the vehicle was stolen along with the plate.
If Your Vehicle and RPLATE Were Stolen
Start by filing a police report.
File a Police Report
File a report with your local law enforcement agency
Make sure the RPLATE is reported as stolen property, not as a license plate
This distinction is important—especially for vanity plate numbers—because reporting it as a stolen license plate may cause the state to permanently retire that number.
Keep the police report number and a copy of the report
Report the Theft in the Reviver App
Once the police report is filed:
Open the Reviver app
Report Vehicle and RPLATE stolen
Enter the police report details and upload the report when prompted
After Reviver review, the plate will display a “STOLEN” message to aid in recovery.
If Only the RPLATE Was Stolen
If your vehicle is still in your possession:
Open the Reviver app and report the RPLATE stolen as soon as possible
File a police report and upload the details when requested
Report the RPLATE as stolen property, not as a license plate
In this case, the plate is deactivated and restricted, but it will not display a “STOLEN” message.
Replacement and Next Steps
A police report is required to qualify for discounted replacement options
Replacement fees and timelines vary by plan and situation
A plate flagged as stolen cannot be reactivated or claimed by another user without Reviver resolving ownership
Once the theft is documented, Reviver Support will work with you to guide next steps and help you get back on the road.
