Replacing personalised plates in Australia is handled by your state authority, not a bloke with a stencil in a shed. If plates are lost or stolen, file a police report first, then apply for replacements; if they’re damaged or you’re changing styles, you’ll order a remake and usually surrender the old set. Bring ID and registration details, expect a fee, and brace for a wait—manufacturing and delivery can take a few weeks. Need to drive in the meantime? Ask about an interim permit or temporary authority so you’re not begging for rides. Switching back to standard plates or transferring plates to another car also goes through the same authority with more forms than a bakery has pies. The names differ (Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, etc.), but the drill is broadly the same—and yes, keep your receipt.
