Question

Ok i traded in my old 03 ford ranger, for a new 08 accent here in Las Vegas Neveda. But now im a bit confused on what to do as far as getting my new registration. I have the old plates from my ranger, and had just payed for my rangers registration in january. Will i have to pay again for my new car or can i use my old registration? Please help..

Answer 1

Nevada license plates are issued to people and businesses, not to vehicles. You may transfer your existing plates to a new vehicle. Plate transfers between individuals require a witnessed statement which can be completed at the DMV at the time of registration.

Generally, you or someone representing you must visit a DMV Full Service office in person to receive new plates or to transfer existing plates to a new car. Limited exceptions are made for active-duty military members and other Nevadans out of state. See Vehicle Registration Requirements.

Please keep your license plates if you are selling a vehicle!  Nevada law requires you to either use them on another vehicle or turn them in for cancellation within 30 days of the sale. If you wish to retain personalized plates for a longer period, you must surrender the decal. See Selling A Vehicle and Plate Surrender/Refunds.

If you wish to allow the new vehicle owner to use your existing set of license plates, you must complete a License Plate Release (SP-67). The new owner must submit this form when registering the vehicle. The current registration for the plate number will be canceled. Registration fee credits may not be transferred to the new owner.

OK...If you bought the new car from a dealer, they should have informed you.
