Need a front license plate, what do i need to take to dmv?

i bought a car maybe a year ago which only had a back license plate, i just got a ticket for not having a front license plate. so i was looking on dmv.ca.gov and dont know how this works. is this considered a duplicate,subsitute, or lost license plate? what do i need to tell the dmv and what do i need to take to the dmv? id like to avoid 2 trips. also does it have to be me the registered owner to request a license plate or can my wife go with my info?

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. This is NOT a case of getting a duplicate plate. You would file for a LOST plate. You will need to take the current registration and the remaining plate into the DMV.. You will be issued a completely NEW set of plates. The state is not set up to manufacture one single license plate. Only the registered owner can request this.

Go to the DMV. Go to the counter, they will give you a form, Duplicate plate.

You will most likely will have to Surrender your current rear plate, meaning that you will have to turn it in and they give you (2 brand new) A Front and a rear plate!OOoo shiny~

Since making the same numbered plate is a waste of time, they will just give you fresh ones.

You pay like $18 or $25 bucks depending on your state, and turn in the old rear one. (Have a screw driver or socket set ready)... They will give you new plates right on the spot.~ Install it on your car.

That's it~

Tuan is correct.
You can also do this at the AAA Auto Club. They too have plates to hand you.
This is considered duplicate. Use CA form: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg156.pdf and it's $18 in CA.
REG 156 Application for replacement plates. In upper left corner put down OLD plate number, in section B check license plate, in section C check lost. (don't check "not received" that's only if you did it with in 30 days of purchase. It's too late now. Now they're going to charge you the $18)
It's important to show your drivers license.
Your state's application may be a little different.
It ABSOLUTELY has to be the registered owner. Your ID, Your signature.
