State guide
Nevada
Nevada uses VIN inspection both for vehicles coming from out of state and for certain title situations involving bonded, rebuilt, reconstructed, specially constructed, and kit vehicles. The DMV publishes VP 015 for VIN verification and VP 064 for rebuilt, reconstructed, specially constructed, and manufactured-kit vehicles, and it publishes VIN station locations at many DMV offices.

What to do next
- If you are a new resident, do the VIN inspection before your DMV appointment because Nevada says metropolitan offices handle VIN checks outside the main building.
- For a bonded title, complete and notarize the required VP 271 sections first, then get the vehicle inspected at a DMV office or by law enforcement.
- For rebuilt or kit vehicles, line up both the repair-business certification and the DMV representative step because VP 064 splits the work between them.
