DMV gives extension for renewals out of coronavirus concerns

Nevada License

Nevada motorists due to renew their vehicle registration or driver’s license are getting a 90-day extension out of concerns for the COVID-19 outbreak, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

The Nevada Highway Patrol, which publicized the notice, said the order doesn’t apply to expired motorist insurance.

Documents, including identification cards and all other DMV papers, must have an expiration date between March 16 and April 30, officials said. The extension begins on the day of expiration, officials said.

Those with the expired documents must carry a copy of this letter for extension eligibility: https://dmvnv.com/pdfforms/90-day-extension.pdf

DMV offices closed this week in an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 respiratory illness that had sickened at least 126 confirmed in Clark County, killing two residents.
