When you purchase a car you have been leasing, a Nevada dealer
(lessor) and any lienholder will
collect the sales tax and the title fee from you that is due on the
sale. If you wish to have a corrected registration issued in your name
alone, the dealer will also collect a $5.00 fee. The dealer will submit the
title and a Dealers Report of Sale (DRS) to the DMV.
You will receive the new registration in the mail. The new
lienholder, if any, will receive the new title in the mail. If there is no
lienholder, you will receive the new title (separately from the
registration) in approximately eight weeks.
If the dealer does not collect the $5.00 registration fee
and issues a green copy of the DRS to you, then you should obtain the new
Certificate of Registration. No registration renewal or emissions
inspection is necessary if the vehicle not due for renewal.
Bring the DRS to a DMV
Full Service Office to have a new registration issued. You
may also use the mail. Please include an explanation
letter with your full name, current address, daytime telephone number
and Nevada license plate number. Mail this, the green DRS and a check or
money order payable to DMV or a Credit Card Authorization for $5.00 to:
Department of Motor Vehicles

Out of state dealers should give you the title, a Bill of
Sale or another appropriate document. Please bring all documentation to a DMV Full Service Office. DMV will verify any sales taxes paid and
charge any difference between that amount and what would have been due in
Nevada. A $20 title fee will also apply.
