Driver License or ID Card Renewal
"Recent Activities" in MyDMV shows the status of your card after you apply
DMV Office Appointment (Carson City, Henderson, Las Vegas and Reno)
No, an office visit is required. We must see your original proof of identity documents for a Real ID or for a First Time License or ID.
Visit GetRealNevada.com to determine whether a Real ID is right for you. You can get your Real ID at the same time you are registering a vehicle or completing another DMV transaction.
There are a number of reasons why you may receive an error code in the Registration Renewal:
This information is sent to DMV electronically. The renewal will not be accepted if an emission test is required and a valid result has not been received, or if your registration is suspended for a lapse in insurance coverage. See Emissions or Insurance for more information.
Sign on to MyDMV. If your vehicle is listed in your account, you can obtain a movement permit online to drive the vehicle for testing or a smog check.
If you have not otherwise operated the vehicle on public streets, you can complete an Affidavit of Non-Operation during the online renewal to avoid late fees. See also Registration Renewal Options and Movement Permits.
Exemptions are issued by County Assessors. The DMV has a system to verify the amount of certain exemptions so that you may use them in online renewals. The following exemptions may be used online:
Active-duty military members, their spouses, Native American tribal members and farmers and ranchers may be entitled to tax exemptions but these cannot be claimed online.
See Registration Renewal Options for forms and instructions.
The most common cause of this is an incorrect address. Sign on to MyDMV to see your status, change your address and renew your registration. You can use the online Registration and Insurance Status Inquiry to check your registration only.
You may renew at a kiosk or in person at a DMV office.
You may also email your license plate or driver license number and current address, call for instructions or renew in person at a DMV office. If we do not have your correct address, we will ask you to mail or fax a Change of Address Application with your renewal.
If you renew a registration online prior to changing your address, your documents will be sent to the address we have on record. The DMV will charge a small fee for substitute decals.
If you have received a postcard asking you to renew your driver's license in person, you must renew at a DMV office. You may wish to upgrade to a Real ID when you renew.
It is your responsibility to renew on time regardless of whether you have received a notice.
Please keep your address current with us as you travel. Sign up for MyDMV and change your address online. If we do not have your correct address, you may not receive the documents.
Driver License/ID Card: Most drivers age 16 to 70 and ID card holders of all ages may renew online. See Driver License Renewal or ID Card Renewal. Driver Authorization Cards must be renewed in person.
If you have received a post card stating you must renew in person, you must do so.
Registration: You can renew online if your vehicle does not require a smog check. The registration slip and decal will be sent to the address we have on file.
If your vehicle requires a smog check and you cannot have it done in Nevada, you cannot renew online. Please renew by mail or fax. See Renewal Options.
Your renewal was late and the system automatically added in the appropriate late fees. Nevada registrations expire on the exact date listed on the registration slip and renewal notice, not at the end of the month. There are no extra charges for renewing online.
An incorrect address is the most common cause of this and DMV will assess a small fee to issue new documents. You may change your address through MyDMV. See Address Changes.
Your registration or license record was updated upon completion of the online renewal and will show current to law enforcement.
Please wait at least two weeks for your renewal to arrive. If it has not arrived within 28 days, please email your current address and plate or driver license number, call (702) 486-4368 option 1 in Las Vegas or (775) 684-4368 option 1 in Reno or visit a DMV office .
If the DMV has your correct address, you may apply for a duplicate online or at a kiosk. See Duplicate Registration. If you are not sure whether your renewal was completed, you can check the registration status online.
