If one license plate is lost, should I replace a pair or just one?

License plates are replaced as a pair. Here are the relevant details: 1. Police report filing: If a license plate is lost, you must first file a police report and then register the case at the local police station. This prevents criminals from using the lost plate for illegal activities that could be attributed to the original owner. 2. Required materials for replacement: Vehicle registration certificate; Owner's ID card and a copy; Motor vehicle license plate replacement application form (available at the DMV); If both plates are stolen, a police certificate is required; If only one is lost, the other must also be removed and brought to the DMV, as plates are always replaced in pairs.
