For an embassy located in the US, the embassy should report the theft to the police. The most recent diplomatic note just said “police report”, but a 2009-2017 archive 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.

  • Would they receive different plates? So if ABC is stolen, the embassy receives XYZ, and now the police can freely arrest anyone driving with the ABC license plates? Otherwise there would be the ugly situation that one diplomat and one thief could be using the same plates.
