Items Needed for License &
Registration Transfers
Your Valid, State-Issued Drivers License
This must contain your name and date of birth. If your license is expired, suspended or revoked, call DMV to determine what you need to do.
Proof of Your Social Security Number
If your social security number is not printed on your driver’s license, you will need to bring your social security card.
Nevada Liability Insurance Card
Out of state insurance is not acceptable. Make sure the name(s) on your insurance and registration match exactly.
Smog Check Certificate if Needed
Exemptions include vehicles based in rural areas, motorcycles, vehicles older than 1968, alternative fuel vehicles and new vehicles registered less than two years.
Your Current Registration Slip(s)
Nearly all trailers must be registered and titled.
Title(s), Unless Held By Lienholder
You have the option of retaining your out-of-state title. We strongly suggest getting a Nevada title if possible.
VIN Check(s)
Vehicle Identification Number inspections are done at DMV offices. In Las Vegas, drive to the inspection station outside the main office first.
Your Out-of-State License Plates
Bring them into the office with you.
Fees-Cash, Check, Money Order, Visa, MC
Call DMV with your VIN for an estimate of registration fees, which are partially based on vehicle value.

Driving Tests
All applicants take a vision test. Other tests will be waived if:
•You are age 25 or older and have no special restrictions.
•Your out-of-state license is valid and you are applying for the same class of license.
•You have no more than 2 moving violations and no suspensions, revocations, cancellations or denials in the past 4 years.
If you do not meet these requirements, you will have to take a written test and a skills test. License applications are checked with the national Problem Driver Pointer System. Special license, testing and endorsements are required to tow multiple trailers or trailers in excess of 10,000 pounds.
Motor Voter
Register to vote while applying for your driver’s license.
Handicapped Parking
Nevada issues a placard, which can be used on any vehicle or special license plates. The disabled resident must obtain a DMV application and have it signed by a licensed physician. Placards are also available for short-term disabilities.
Personalized/Specialty License Plates
Personalized plates are limited to 7 letters and/or numbers. Specialty plates are available for Nevada universities, veterans, Purple Heart recipients, Ex Prisoners of War, classic cars and a number of special groups and charitable causes.
Motorcycles & Mopeds
Motorcyclists are required to wear helmets and possess a Class M license. Nevada transfers most motorcycle endorsements. Mopeds 50cc or less, with less than 2 horsepower, do not have to be registered and you do not need a Class M license. However, you must have a valid Class C or higher license.
Boats
Water vessels are registered with the Nevada Division of Wildlife. Trailers are registered with DMV.
