How to fill out Minnesota PS2067B

The form for a plate or a tab that has gone missing, and one a seller should think about before a handover rather than after it. Because Minnesota plates stay with the car, a vehicle with a bent, stolen or unreadable plate is a vehicle the buyer inherits a problem with - and the registration stickers on it are the ones they will be driving on until the month runs out.

Written against PS2067B (7/26), issued under Minnesota Statutes 168.29. If a plate is missing on a car you are about to sell, sort it out first. The plate and the registration go to the buyer in Minnesota, and a buyer who has to apply for a replacement set for a vehicle still showing your name on the record is a buyer with your telephone number.

Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank PS2067B from the assets.dps.mn.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.

What a completed one looks like

This is the actual PS2067B, rendered from the PDF the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.

Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below

Minnesota form PS2067B filled in: Marit K. Solberg of Grand Rapids applying for duplicate plates on a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, VIN 2GNFLFEK7F6104782, current plate KRV 418 expiring in October 2026, with the Plates box ticked, the reason given as Defective, the temporary address block left grey and empty, and the application signed and dated. — The whole application as published. Both tick grids allow more than one answer, which is why the reason boxes are laid out as a grid rather than a list - a stolen plate and a missing year sticker are one application, not two.

Field by field

Every line, in the order you meet it

1
You fill this in
Vehicle identification number and current plate
The identification number on its own line, then the current plate number, model year, make and type.
Watch out: The current plate number is the one being replaced. On a plate too damaged to read, take it from the registration card instead.
2
You fill this in
Current expiration date
The month and year boxes in the top right corner.
Watch out: This is what the replacement stickers are issued against, and the notice at the foot requires them to match what was originally on the vehicle.
3
You fill this in
Owner's name, licence number and address
Last, first and middle name, driver's licence number, then the permanent address including the county.
Watch out: County is asked for and easily missed. It is what any wheelage tax on the registration is charged by.
4
You fill this in
What you need
Plates, weight stickers, year sticker - check all that apply.
Watch out: Weight stickers exist on trucks and trailers registered by gross weight. An ordinary passenger car has a plate and a year sticker and nothing else.
5
You fill this in
Why
Stolen, destroyed, lost, surrendered, defective, never received, issued in error - again, all that apply.
Watch out: Never received drags the postal service question with it; surrendered means specifically given up for lack of insurance. The other five mean what they say.
6
You fill this in
The registration card
Attach it, or tick one of the four reasons in instruction 2 for why you cannot.
Watch out: One of those four reasons is that you are driving outside Minnesota and need the card as proof of registration, which is the department quietly acknowledging how far people drive.
7
You fill this in
Sign and date it
The signature rule under the certification that the vehicle is and will continue to be insured while operating upon the public streets and highways.
Watch out: The registered owner signs. On a vehicle you are about to sell that is still you, and it stays you until the buyer files the transfer.

At a glance

What goes where

On the form	What to put in it
The vehicle block	Vehicle identification number, current plate number, model year, make and type, with the current expiration date as a month and a year in the top right.
Owner's name and address	Last, first and middle name with a driver's licence number, then the permanent address as street, city, county, state and zip code.
This application is for duplicate	Three ticks, and you may check all that apply: Plates, Weight stickers, Year sticker.
Why they must be replaced	Seven boxes, again check all that apply: Stolen, Destroyed, Lost, Surrendered, Defective, Never received, Issued in error.
I am replacing the stickers for the month of / year of	Two small boxes beside the reason grid, because a month sticker and a year sticker are separate things in Minnesota.
Fees due	Duplicate, filing and total, in a stack down the right-hand side with the amounts left blank.
Temporary address	Street, city, state and zip for plates that should be posted somewhere other than the address of record.
The registration card question	In the instructions: attach this vehicle's current registration card, or tick why you cannot - lost, destroyed, never received, or currently driving outside the state of Minnesota and must retain the registration card for proof of registration.
The postal service question	Also in the instructions, and only for Never received: to find my plates and/or stickers I have contacted the Postal Service, yes or no, with the date of contact.
The important notice	The month and/or year stickers you are replacing must match the stickers originally on this vehicle, and the registration card and any remaining plates and/or stickers must be surrendered to the registrar for cancellation.

What gets this one rejected

•Ticking Never received without answering the postal question. The instruction is attached to that box specifically, and it wants a yes or no and a date.
•Ticking Surrendered when nothing was surrendered. The form limits that word to plates or stickers given up for lack of insurance coverage.
•Keeping the remaining plate. The notice says any remaining plates and stickers must be surrendered to the registrar for cancellation - a replacement set means the old set is dead.
•Applying for a duplicate title at the same time on this sheet. It is a different form, and the head of this one says a duplicate title is not required when applying for duplicate plates or stickers.
•Stickers that do not match. The month and year being replaced have to be the ones originally issued for that vehicle, not the ones you would prefer.
•Filling in the second side. Instruction 1 says complete this application on this side only.

Rules that decide whether it is accepted

•Plates and tabs are separate transactions in the same box. You may tick plates, weight stickers and year sticker together or separately, and the fee stack adds up whatever was ticked.
•The registration card normally goes with it. Attach it, or tick one of four reasons why you cannot - including that you are driving outside Minnesota and need to keep it as proof.
•It is the registered owner's form. The notice at the foot says the registered owners of the vehicle must complete this application, which on a car about to be sold means you and not the buyer.

Every line here was read off PS2067B (7/26) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services pages. This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ, theirs governs.
