01
What TxDMV requires for a duplicate receipt

Where to submit the request
TxDMV says duplicate registration receipts may be requested in person or by mail. Its FAQ directs motorists to TxDMV regional service centers or local county tax offices and explains the payment method for mailed requests. County payment methods can differ.

A duplicate registration receipt is not the same transaction as replacing a lost registration sticker. TxDMV publishes a separate replacement-sticker process and fee, so use the form that matches what is actually missing.
