Make sure to update the Nevada DMV within 30 days of changing your name.
To do so, visit in person with the following:
- Your current Nevada driver’s license or ID card;
- A Nevada certified or original legal name change document; and
- Payment of the fee $8.25 ($9.25 for an ID card).
Nevada Vehicle Title and Registration Name Change
Don’t forget to also change your name on your vehicle’s title and registration while you’re at the DMV. Since you have to go in person in makes sense to get it all done at once.
Bring the same documents listed above along with:
- Your new driver’s license showing your new name;
- Auto Insurance Card showing your new name;
- Current Registration and Title;
- On the Title, you will need to transfer the vehicle’s title to your new name; and
- The fees will vary—approximately $30 for Title transfer and $21 for duplicate title and $6 for a standard vehicle registration.
Moving? If you are moving, you can update your address online, or handle it in person while you are changing your name. See our moving links below in Step 4.
Note that Nevada requires you do this within 30 days of the move.
