DMV announces service to report vehicles with no registration

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles has launched a new online tool that allows residents to report vehicles with expired, invalid, or missing registrations — including those using illegal out-of-state plates.

The “Nevada Registration Spotter” form, now available on the DMV website, is designed for civilians to report vehicles operating unlawfully on Nevada roads.

“I think this report form is beneficially in so many ways,” said Compliance Enforcement Division Chief J.D. Decker in a press release announcing the initiative. “We get so many calls, inquiries, and complaints daily about civilians noticing unregistered vehicles on the roads and what can be done about it, and now we finally have a solution.”

The DMV emphasized that the report form is not meant for abandoned vehicles, traffic or parking violations, unsafe driving, stolen vehicles, or other DMV-related issues. Stolen vehicles should still be reported directly to law enforcement.

All reports submitted through the online form will be reviewed by the Compliance Enforcement Division, which will also share data with other law enforcement agencies.

“Nevada is one of the first states to really have this form come to fruition, and now civilians can help others by ensuring all motorists stay safe on our roads,” Decker said in the same announcement press release.

Residents can find more information and access the Registration Spotter form through the DMV’s website at dmv.nv.gov.
