The State of Nevada requires all actively registered vehicles to maintain Nevada liability insurance continuously during the entire registration period, even if the vehicle is not being used.

There must be current insurance in the DMV system before you can proceed.
If you have just obtained current insurance you may need to update your insurance before reinstating.

Is the vehicle suspended?
Check the suspension date on the certified notice. If the registration is not in suspension this transaction may not be available to you.

Certificate of Financial Responsibility required?
If your insurance has lapsed for 91 days or longer a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (SR22 high risk insurance) is required. You will have to go into a DMV office to reinstate your vehicle registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my registration after I pay the reinstatement?

Yes, if you qualify, you will receive instructions after the reinstatement to renew the registration online. To qualify, your registration expiration date must be within 35 days or less with no other sanctions. If you wish to change your address, name, use an exemption, or credits you must mail your renewal and fees or go to your local DMV office.

How does DMV know when I don’t have insurance?

Insurance Companies licensed to do business in Nevada are required to validate the status of Nevada Insurance policies. The DMV will electronically ask your insurance company if the vehicle has current Nevada liability insurance coverage. The insurance company will respond "Confirmed" or "Unconfirmed."

What if I want to cancel my insurance?

You must cancel your Nevada registration before you cancel your insurance. If you sell the vehicle you must remove your plates and turn them into your local DMV; the license plates do not stay with the vehicle.

Vehicles must maintain a Nevada Insurance policy issued by an Insurance company licensed in the State of Nevada.

If you change your name on your insurance policy, you must also change your name on your vehicle registration and title. At least one name must be in common on your vehicle registration and insurance policy. You are required to report a change of address to the Department within 30 days to ensure you receive correspondence.
If you purchase new insurance, renew your policy, or change insurance companies, the policy number may change and/or the insurance company name may change. You or your representative must report these changes to DMV as soon as possible. You will have to report:
- The insurance company's name
- The policy number must be entered exactly as it is on the card
- The effective date
- The termination of expiration date
To report these changes you or your representative may:
- Update online
- Visit a DMV office
