MyDMV Nevada: what you can do online or at a kiosk

MyDMV is the Nevada DMV's online account, where most transactions happen: renewing a license or ID, getting a duplicate, changing your address and printing your driving history. First licenses, instruction permits, REAL IDs, Driver Authorization Cards and commercial licenses still need an office visit. DMV kiosks handle a smaller set of jobs, mostly for vehicles.

Driver's license and ID jobs in MyDMV

  • Renew your license or ID card, if you're eligible.
  • Order a duplicate license or ID.
  • Change your address.
  • Print your 3-year or 10-year driver history.
  • Check whether your card has been shipped.
  • Schedule a drive test.

What still needs a DMV office

A first Nevada license, an instruction permit, a REAL ID, a Driver Authorization Card, a commercial license and surrendering a license all need an in-person visit, with an appointment. The written permit test is the one first-time step you can do online, through KnowToDrive Nevada.

DMV kiosks

Kiosks renew vehicle registrations, print duplicate registrations and decals, reinstate a registration after an insurance lapse and print driver history reports, all in English or Spanish. They don't renew driver's licenses. Processing is $4 for registrations and duplicates and $1.50 for other jobs, and cash works only at kiosks inside DMV offices.

The DMV says kiosks are at many DMV offices and partner locations, but its kiosk page doesn't list them by name, including any in Sparks. The DMV's kiosk site is the place to look.

Use the official site

The DMV warns you to use only official Nevada DMV sites and to check that the MyDMV address starts with dmvapp.nv.gov. Online payments take Visa, MasterCard, Discover or an e-check, and an e-check costs less.
