Address Changes
We do not accept any address change by email.
Address changes on Commercial Driver Licenses must be completed in person. See DMV offices.
Nevada law requires motorists to notify DMV of a change of address within 30 days of the move, including residents who are leaving the state permanently.
Keeping your address current with us is important as we mail your renewal notices. We also use the mail to notify residents of license suspensions, vehicle insurance validation problems and other potentially serious issues. You may list separate mailing and residence addresses.

Registration Renewal
Vehicle registration renewals completed through the Internet or an emissions inspection station are sent to the address on record for the vehicle. The U.S. Postal Service will not forward the Registration Certificate and decal. A forwarding order with the Postal Service does not change your address with the DMV.
If we do not have your correct address, please renew by mail and include a Change of Address Notification (DMV 022). If your registration is due or expired, you may renew at a DMV kiosk and complete the address change afterward. You do not need a renewal notice to obtain an emissions inspection or renew.
If you have already completed the renewal, you will have to apply for a substitute decal. You may use an Application for Duplicate Registration Certificate (VP-013) and a Payment Authorization (VP-205).
Include a cover letter with your daytime telephone number. Fax these to (775) 684-4797 or mail them to the address on the application. If you are mailing your application, you may pay by check or money order.
The substitute decal and Certificate of Registration will be mailed within 7 - 10 business days. You may also renew or obtain a substitute decal in person at any DMV office. See Renewal Options.
