After a loved one’s passing, you may need to deal with items such as driver’s licenses, license plates, and disabled person placards that have specific rules governing how they are discarded. Because some of these items can be used toward identity theft, it is important you follow these rules.
All items (Driver’s License, Disabled Person Placard, License Plates) can be mailed with a copy of the death certificate or dropped off to a local Deputy Registrar location, or simply destroyed. If the items are destroyed, send a copy of the death certificate to the following email or mail address to ensure the status is correctly updated in the system.
