Nevada License Plates & Placards

If you are a resident of Nevada, you must register your vehicle in Department of Vehicles before the vehicle can be operated on Nevada highways. New residents must register their vehicles within 30 days of establishing residency in Nevada.

The DMV issues two plates (except motorcycles and trailers) and the state law requires motor vehicles to display front and rear license plates. Motorcycle and trailers require only one plate which must be displayed on the back of the vehicle. Registration decals indicating the expiration date of registration are placed on the upper right-hand corner of the rear plate.

If your license plates or expiration decals are lost, stolen, or damaged, you can request for a replacement from the Nevada DMV. If your license plates are stolen, you must get a new license plate number. If the plates have been damaged or lost, you can either get a new license plate number or request for a duplicate plate of your old number.

Types of Nevada License Plates

Several license plates are issued by the Nevada DMV.

Special license plates are also issued to a number of Nevada law enforcement agencies, state elected officials and the Nevada congressional delegation. Plate “1” belongs to the Nevada Governor. “2” belongs to the Lieutenant Governor.

Transferring of License Plates in Nevada 

You can transfer a license plate to another vehicle. If another person will be using your existing license plates, you must complete a License Plate Release (SP 67). The new plate owner must submit this form when applying for a vehicle registration.
