Frequently Asked Questions
How does the title transfer work?
- Remove your license plates
Remove the license plates from the car, prior to it being towed.
- Transfer or Cancel the Plates
Nevada law requires you to either use the plates on another vehicle or turn them in for cancellation within 30 days of the donation. If you wish to retain personalized plates for a longer period, you must surrender the decal. You will receive a credit for the unused portion of the current registration fees. The credit will decline on a pro-rated basis and reach zero on the day your registration would have expired.
You can return your plates in person at your local DMV, or via mail.
IN PERSON
Bring the plate(s) and decal to any DMV location and surrender them to a technician inside the office. Do not place them in a drop box. You may cancel the registration and keep personalized or specialty plates as a souvenir. Bring the rear plate to the DMV and scrape off the decal in person.
VIA MAIL
You may mail the plates, decal, and a signed letter requesting cancellation to the address below. You may wish to send the plates via certified mail with return signature required. Be sure to include your correct return address and daytime telephone number in case the DMV needs to contact you.
