You were originally given two, and if you only have one now, you are in violation of the law. Go to the DMV and report you have lost a plate. Pay for a replacement plates.

Answer 3

If I see the front i imagine it really is someone from the following (Michigan) with a California plate in the front for adornment (quite common for some reason) because we do no longer have the front plates. even if it really is a official California vehicle i imagine wow what a lengthy rigidity

Answer 4

You can't get a replacement for a single plate (unless you have vanity plates). You will need to surrender your old one (if they remember to ask) and get a set of new plates with new numbers.

Answer 5

They issue 2 but many cars have no place to put the front one on or you will block the grill and your engine will overheat.. I don't think its a violation in that case.
I called DMV and she said to talk to law enforcement because they would issue the ticket if they felt it was justified.. and so I sent the CHP an email at:

you might want to do the same.
