Speaking from MA RMV terms, the “registration” is the plates. We call the paper proof registration as well but when you go into the RMV you will need to have a RTA (registration and title application) filled out along with a stamp from your insurance and you will have on it “new registration”.
The RMV will be able to locate your current registration information using your plates, you will want to surrender the license plates off of your car to the RMV and they will issue you new ones.
