Thank you for using the Nevada DMV online registration renewal. Your vehicle's record will be updated instantly upon successful completion. The Certificate of Registration and license plate decal will be mailed from Carson City within two business days. If you are a first-time user, you may wish to review the Basic Instructions and FAQs below.

Please read the following information before you renew online:

Is Your Address Correct?
Renewals are sent to the address of record. DMV will charge a fee for substitute documents. If your renewal notice or current registration certificate has an incorrect address, please mail your renewal.

  
Begin Here

Vehicle Identification

Access Code Number

OR
License Plate Number
and the last 4 digits of your Vehicle Identification Number
         
   

Do You Have A Tax Exemption or Fee Credit?
Please mail your renewal if you have a Veterans exemption or any other tax exemption. ALL exemptions and credits are forfeited if you renew by Internet, telephone or kiosk.
   

Is Your Registration Early or Late?
You may renew online approximately 35 days before expiration or up to 18 months after expiration. The system will automatically add any late fees. Registrations expire on the exact date listed.

Diesel vehicles which require a smog check cannot be renewed by Internet or telephone. Please mail your renewal.
See Registration Renewal Options if you have an address change, fee credit or other unusual problem.
Some Nevada specialty license plates do not display the full plate number needed for registration renewal. See your registration slip, renewal notice or License Plate Codes for the correct prefix.

 

Now you can use an electronic check to pay your fees and have the money come directly from your checking or savings account. You can also use a valid Visa credit or debit card, MasterCard credit or Discover/Novus credit card.

Blue Ball  FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

My smog check receipt says "Vehicle information did not match registration records". Can I still renew online?
In most cases, yes. This message generally means only that the match was not made immediately.
Get Started

I am out of the state. Can I renew online?
You can renew online if your vehicle does not require a smog check. However, we cannot send Internet renewal documents to a temporary address. They will be sent to the address on file.

If your vehicle requires a smog check and you cannot have it done in Nevada, you cannot renew online. Please renew by mail and include an Emission Control Residency Affidavit.

I want to change my license plates. What do I do?
You must obtain new plates in person at the DMV. If you wish to avoid personalized or specialty plate fees charged on your current plates, you should renew at a DMV Full Service Office and exchange plates at the same time. Specialty plate fees cannot be refunded.  

If fees are not an issue, you may renew online now and exchange plates later without another renewal or emissions inspection. See our License Plates pages for instructions on obtaining the specific plates of your choice.

I did not receive a renewal notice.  What do I do?
The most common cause of this is an incorrect address. We suggest you mail the renewal along with a Change of Address Application or renew in person. The post office may or may not forward the Certificate of Registration and decal if you renew online. We cannot send renewal documents to a temporary address. 

If you are confident that the address on file for this vehicle is correct, you may attempt to renew online using the license plate number and last 4 digits of the Vehicle Identification Number. You must obtain a smog check first if needed.

Registrations cannot be renewed online more than 35 days before expiration. The online renewal may be rejected if your registration is suspended or canceled, if you have bad debt with the DMV or if you have unpaid parking tickets. The most common cause for rejection is a registration suspension due to a lapse in insurance coverage. See Insurance Verification.

Why can't I use my Veterans exemption or other tax exemption online?
Exemptions are issued by your county assessor. We must receive the paper copy for verification purposes. Other exemptions, such as those for active duty military, require notarized signatures. Please mail your renewal or renew in person.
