Blue Dot  How Do I Get These Plates?

Back To Top

The vehicle must meet the specific requirements listed on each plate's application.
If you wish to claim the Classic Vehicle or Classic Rod emissions exemption, see Emissions. 

If your vehicle is currently registered in Nevada, download and complete the appropriate application. Bring this, any required documentation and the old plates to a DMV Full Service Office or County Assessor which offers vehicle registration services. If you wish to keep the old plates, you must bring the rear plate and surrender the decal in person.

We will issue your new plates with a new registration slip and decal. No emissions inspection is required and your expiration date will remain the same. A $5 substitute plate fee will apply.

You have the option of renewing your vehicle registration for a full year. In addition to the plate application, you will need to 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 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.
