Diplomatic law and car plates
<p>What should the Ministery of Foreign Affairs of a country A do in the case in which the diplomatic car plate number is stolen in a country B? And what should the State Department do?</p>

<p>For an embassy located in the US, the embassy should report the theft to the police. The <a href="https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/19-1668-New-DMV-Process-Circular-2019-12-11.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">most recent diplomatic note</a> just said “police report”, but <a href="https://2009-2017.state.gov/ofm/dmv/registration/lostlp/index.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a 2009-2017 archive</a> said that this could be local police, the Secret Service, or the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. After reporting the theft to the police, the embassy sends a copy of the police report to the Office of Foreign Missions and requests replacement plates. The embassy might also have to report this to their own government.</p>
