Nevada does not have a planned non-operation
status or any requirement for a seller to notify the DMV of a
vehicle sale. These issues are addressed by surrendering your
license plates and canceling the registration. You must surrender the plates if:
-
You have dropped the vehicle liability
insurance for any reason. You should surrender the plates before
you cancel the insurance.
-
You have sold or otherwise disposed of a vehicle and will not use the plates on another vehicle
within 30 days.
-
Your vehicle will be stored or under
repairs for an extended period and you do not wish to keep the liability insurance
or registration in effect.
Bring the plate(s) and decal to any DMV Full Service or Express Office
and surrender them to a technician inside the office. Do
not place them in a drop box. You may cancel the
registration and keep personalized or specialty plates as a
souvenir. Bring the rear plate to the DMV and scrape off the
decal in person.
Or, you may mail the plates, decal,
and a signed letter requesting cancellation. You may wish to send the plates via certified
mail with return signature required. Be
sure to include your correct return address and daytime telephone
number in case we need to contact you.

You
will receive a credit for the unused portion of the current
registration fees. The credit will decline on a
pro-rated basis and reach zero on the day your registration
would have expired.
You can only use the
credit toward the registration or
renewal of another vehicle which is registered in your name. You
may renew other vehicles at any time in person at the DMV. You
do not have to wait for the expiration date to approach. If your
vehicle requires a smog check, you must have a new test
completed if the last one is more than 90 days old. Credits cannot be
applied to sales taxes or transferred
to another person.
Certain motorists may qualify for a refund of registration fees. See the Refund Qualifications below.
If you wish to allow another person to use an existing set of license plates that you currently own, you must complete a License Plate Release (SP-67). The new plate owner must submit this form when obtaining an original vehicle registration. The current registration for the plate number will be canceled. Registration fee credits may not be transferred to the new owner.
