One DMV office visit is necessary to receive personalized plates no matter which method you use to place the order. Many County Assessors in rural areas offer DMV services. We will issue a movement permit and mail the plates to you. Order in person if you will be registering a vehicle or renewing the registration within the next 60 days. Make an appointment as soon as you order the plates for our offices in Carson City, Henderson, Las Vegas and Reno. You must pick up the plates within 60 days after they arrive at the office.
The DMV or County Assessor office you designate will mail a postcard when your plates are ready. We suggest you order online or by mail/fax if your vehicle is already registered in Nevada, if you are moving to Nevada in the near future or if you will be buying a vehicle in the near future. Or, order in-person and we will issue a movement permit and mail the plates to you.
