How do I replace a lost Michigan car registration?

Hi, I live in Michigan and I lost my car registration. How do I replace it?

Liz Jenson · Updated on Nov 12, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

No need to worry! You can replace your

vehicle registration

by visiting a local Secretary of State branch in person or going on the Michigan Department of State website at ExpressSOS.com.

You will need to provide your:

License plate number

Driver’s license number or state ID

While you’re sorting through your documents, it’s worth looking into your insurance coverage, too. Many people pay too much for their insurance since prices change all the time. The

app can be really helpful for this. It pulls quotes for you from top insurers so you can compare prices and coverages for free in a matter of minutes.

What does the cruise control warning light mean?

A certain warning light has been on in my car: it’s the same exact light that turns on when I use cruise control, only it’s orange instead of green. Weirdly, it still turns green when I set my cruise speed, and it seems to work fine. What does the cruise control warning light actually mean?
