NEEDING HELP WITH DMV SERVICES?

If you’ve bought a vehicle from a Nevada dealer, you have 30 days to register it with the Nevada DMV. Follow this guide to meet all registration requirements efficiently:

Approximately 15 days after your purchase, visit the dealership to collect your EDRS. Ensure the EDRS includes:

• Accurate vehicle details
• Owner information
• Your current mailing address

Secure an active Nevada car insurance policy in the owner’s name from a licensed Nevada insurance provider.
Important: Out-of-state insurance policies are not accepted for Nevada vehicle registration.

A smog check is required if your vehicle meets any of the following conditions:

• Gasoline-powered and over 2 years old
• Diesel-powered with a gross vehicle weight under 14,000 lbs
• Hybrid gas-electric vehicles, required only after 5 years

Make sure your smog check is completed within 90 days prior to registration.

The vehicle owner must sign and submit the VP222 form as part of the DMV registration process.

Bring the following items to complete your registration:

• Your EDRS form
• Proof of Nevada liability insurance
• A recent smog check certificate (if required)
• The completed VP222 form

As a new resident, it’s important to transfer your vehicle registration to Nevada within 30 days to comply with state laws and avoid potential late fees. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth process:

Secure an active Nevada auto insurance policy in the vehicle owner’s name from a provider licensed in Nevada.
Note: Out-of-state insurance policies are not accepted for Nevada vehicle registration.

A smog check is required if your vehicle meets any of the following conditions:

• Gasoline-powered and over 2 years old.
• Diesel-powered with a gross vehicle weight under 14,000 lbs.
• Hybrid gas-electric and over 5 years old.

Ensure the smog check is completed within 90 days prior to registration.

Drive your vehicle to a Nevada DMV office for a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection conducted by a DMV inspector.
No appointment is necessary—simply proceed to the designated VIN Inspection area at the DMV.

Make sure to bring:

• Your current out-of-state vehicle registration
• Out-of-state license plates
• Completed and signed Application for Vehicle Registration (Form VP222)
• 
  

Submit the following documents at the DMV:

• Proof of Nevada auto insurance
• A smog check certificate (if required)
• The VIN inspection report
• Your out-of-state registration
• The completed VP222 form

Pay the applicable registration fees, which vary based on your vehicle’s specifications.

If you own your vehicle outright and possess your out-of-state vehicle title, you have two options when moving to Nevada:

• Option 1: Transfer both your title and registration to Nevada.
• Option 2: Transfer only your registration and retain your out-of-state title.

While transferring your out-of-state title is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. If you lose your title and need a duplicate, having it registered in Nevada simplifies the process.

• If you do not transfer your out-of-state title and lose it, you will need to apply for a duplicate title through the state that originally issued it.
• The State of Nevada cannot issue a duplicate title unless the original title was transferred to Nevada.

To transfer your vehicle title and registration into Nevada, you will need:

• Nevada Auto Insurance:
  Secure an active insurance policy in the vehicle owner's name from a licensed Nevada provider.
• Smog Check (if applicable):
  A smog check is required if your vehicle is:
  
  • Gasoline-powered and over 2 years old.
  • Diesel-powered with a gross vehicle weight under 14,000 lbs.
  • Hybrid gas-electric vehicles require a smog check only after 5 years.
  • Ensure the smog check is completed within 90 days of registration.
• VIN Inspection:
  Take your vehicle to a Nevada DMV office for a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection performed by a DMV inspector. No appointment is necessary—simply drive to the designated VIN Inspection area.
• Out-of-State Registration and License Plates:
  Bring your current out-of-state registration and license plates.
• Out-of-State Vehicle Title:
  Provide the title for your vehicle.
• Application for Vehicle Registration (Form VP222):
  The vehicle owner must sign and submit the VP222 form to complete the process.

Transferring your title and registration is the best way to ensure smooth processing and eliminate future complications. For further assistance, contact us for professional DMV services in Nevada.
