You have the choice of ordering by mail, fax or in person. We suggest mail or fax if your vehicle is already registered in Nevada, if you are moving to Nevada in the near future or if you will be buying a vehicle in the near future. Order in person if you will be registering a vehicle or renewing the registration within the next 60 days. See Previously-Issued Plate Numbers if you wish to order a specific standard plate number.

Order by Mail or Fax. Check for
three choices on our Personalized
Plate Search. You may also e-mail
or call.
Download and complete the appropriate application for your plate. Mail the application and fees to the address on
the application. Fees may be paid by check or
money order payable to DMV or a Credit Card
Authorization. For faxed orders, fax the completed application and a Credit Card
Authorization to (775) 684-4797.
You can order plates even if you are moving to Nevada
within the next 60 days but have not actually registered a vehicle here yet.
Personalized plates must be
approved, manufactured and then shipped to the DMV or Assessor's office you chose on the
application. If your application is rejected, your check will be returned.
When the DMV or Assessor receives your plates, the staff will send you a
letter notifying you they are ready.
If your vehicle is currently registered in
Nevada, bring the old plates to the DMV for
surrender. If you wish to keep them, bring the rear plate only to surrender
the decal.
If you choose to keep the same expiration date, we will issue a new registration slip and decal with your new
plates. No emissions inspection or registration renewal is required.
You have the option of renewing your vehicle
registration for a full year. Complete an emissions inspection if required and if the last test was completed more than 90 days ago. Your
expiration date will change if the current expiration date is more than 35
days away. Credit will be given for the unused portion of your current
Nevada registration.
If you have just purchased a vehicle or have
already moved to Nevada, we encourage you to order in person at the same time you
register your vehicle.
Order in Person. You
can order your custom plates in person at the same time you register a
vehicle or renew its registration at a DMV Full Service Office
or at a County Assessor's Office which
offers vehicle registration services. You may wish to use our online Personalized
Plate Search in advance to help select your plate style and/or
personalized numbering.
If you have just purchased a vehicle or are
registering it in Nevada for the first time, see the full list of Registration
Requirements or New Resident Guide
and use our online Registration
Fee Estimates. Bring all required documentation along with the appropriate
license plate application. We will issue the vehicle registration slip,
decal and a temporary movement permit. The plates will be mailed to you.
