If the remaining pieces of a damaged license plate are not submitted, what happens to the application for a replacement?

The application for a replacement of a damaged license plate will be delayed or rejected if the remaining pieces of the damaged plate are not submitted. This is based on the fact that the licensing authority requires certain evidence to process replacement applications. The submission of the damaged parts helps verify the claim and ensures that the license plate is genuinely damaged and eligible for replacement. Without these pieces, there is insufficient proof to support the request, leading to potential delays in approval or outright rejection of the application. This process helps maintain the integrity of the vehicle registration system and ensures proper documentation is followed.
