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

You must cancel your Nevada registration before you cancel your insurance. If you sell the vehicle you must remove your plates; 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, change insurance companies or the policy number changes and/or the insurance company name changes; you or your representative must report these changes to the 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 date or expiration date.

To report these changes you or your representative may:

• Update online
• Call a Nevada LIVE representative
• Visit a DMV office.
