Does a Seller Remove License Plates in Nevada
In Nevada, the rules for removing license plates when selling a vehicle are clear and must be followed to ensure legal compliance. Here are the important details:
License Plate Removal
The seller is required to remove the license plates from the vehicle before handing it over to the buyer. This prevents the misuse of plates and ensures the seller is not held responsible for any future incidents involving the vehicle. More details can be found at the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Transferring Plates to Another Vehicle
After removing the license plates, the seller can transfer them to another vehicle they own. This can be done online through the MyDMV platform or in person at a DMV office. More information on how to transfer plates is available here: Plate Transfer.
Canceling Registration
If the seller does not wish to transfer the plates, they must cancel the vehicle’s registration. The license plates must then be surrendered to the DMV or destroyed. Further guidance on canceling registration and plate surrender can be found here: Cancel Registration.
Temporary Movement Permits for Buyers
The buyer will need to obtain a temporary movement permit from the DMV to drive the vehicle legally until permanent plates are issued. Information on obtaining these permits can be found here: Movement Permit.
By adhering to these steps, Nevada sellers can ensure a smooth and legally compliant vehicle sale.
