Vehicles Purchased from an Out-of-State Dealer

1. Nevada Evidence of Insurance:

• Proof of insurance from a Nevada Licensed Insurance Carrier is required for vehicle registration.

2. Invoice or Bill of Sale:

• The invoice or bill of sale provided by the dealer, which includes details such as the sale price, date, and vehicle identification.

3. Proof of Ownership: (Choose one of the following)

• Vehicle Title: If the vehicle has been previously registered and you have the title, provide it.
• Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO): For brand new vehicles that have never been registered, you should have the MCO.
• Security Agreement: If there's a lien on the vehicle, provide the security agreement from the financial institution that holds the lien.
• Lease Agreement: If the vehicle is leased, you may need the lease agreement.

4. Nevada Emission Vehicle Inspection Report (if required):

• Check if your vehicle falls under the category requiring an emissions vehicle inspection. If needed, the dealer should provide the necessary inspection report.

5. VIN Inspection:

• If the vehicle has never been registered in Nevada, you might need to arrange for a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection to verify the vehicle's identity. You can often do this at a local DMV office or an authorized inspection station.

• Provide the current odometer reading for your vehicle. This information helps determine registration fees and may be required for specific vehicle types.

• Ensure that the vehicle is registered before the expiration of any movement permit issued. The expiration date is typically provided by the dealer and can vary.
