The following is a news release from the Louisiana State Police: 

The Office of Motor Vehicles is now offering a link on their website,www.expresslane.org, that will allow customers to cancel the license plate on their vehicle without having to visit an OMV office. Customers will need to enter the VIN, plate number, and zip code of the registered owner of the vehicle. After entering the required information, simply print a receipt and discard the license plate. A direct link to this service can be found at expresslane.dps.louisiana.gov/Cancel_…/Cancel_Plates_01.aspx.
