Tips

  • At least one of the named insured must appear on the vehicle registration. A vehicle registered only to an additional driver will cause a lapse.
  • Review the actual vehicle registration when writing the policy. The name and VIN must match.
  • Motorists are required to present Nevada Evidence of Liability Insurance at the DMV. See Locations for DMV office fax numbers.

  • Remind your customers to change their address with the Department when they move.
  • You may confirm continuous coverage on behalf of your customers. See the Coverage Affidavit below.
  • Nevada allows Evidence of Liability Insurance to be displayed on mobile devices.
  • New Federal Odometer Law - 2011 and newer vehicles are not exempt from odometer disclosure, even if the vehicle title indicates otherwise. See Titles.

Classic Vehicle insurance issued for the following plates must meet the minimum liability requirements.

Online Services

Help your customers! Agents may use the online update to ensure the DMV has the correct policy information.

A recently-purchased or changed policy may not be verified instantly if you have only issued a binder and the carrier has not completely processed it. You need to check the Status Inquiry at a later date to ensure your insurance company validated the policy.

Did You Know...

The DMV offers many alternatives to in-person visits. Use the insurance-related services above and these too!

Kiosks charge a $4 processing fee for registration renewals and a $1.25 fee for all other transactions.

  • Registration Renewals online, at kiosks and at emission inspection stations.
    See Registration Renewals. Customers without a renewal notice may use their license plate number and last 4 digits of the VIN. Renewals can be up to 18 months late. Kiosks dispense the decal and registration certificate on the spot. Kiosks at DMV offices also accept cash.

    Drivers may obtain a three, nine or ten year history online and at kiosks. We also have a code lookup page for court, violation and withdrawal codes. See Driver History.

Electronic Evidence of Insurance

Nevada Evidence of Liability Insurance may be presented on a printed card or in an electronic format to be displayed on a mobile electronic device.

Insurers are not required to provide electronic evidence. However, they must always provide a printed card upon request.

If you present your mobile device to another person to provide Evidence of Liability Insurance:

  • You assume all liability for any damage to the device
  • A peace officer may view only the Evidence of Liability Insurance and may not intentionally view any other content on the device
  • The Evidence of Liability Insurance must be provided by your insurer and contain all of the information provided on a printed card
