Self-Service Kiosks

Kiosks will accept either the access code or bar code from your renewal notice or the license plate number and last 4 digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You must complete a smog check first if one is required for your vehicle.

Kiosks can process your registration renewal approximately 35 days before expiration and up to 15 days late.

Kiosk and online renewals cannot process Governmental Services tax exemptions, fee credits or address changes. If you have a Veterans Exemption or any unusual situation, please renew by mail. Tax exemptions are forfeited if you renew by kiosk or online.

You must have the access code or bar code from your renewal notice to renew your driver's license at a kiosk or online. Renewals will be accepted up to 30 days late at kiosks.

If you have received a post card asking you to renew in person, you must visit a DMV Full Service or Express Office.

Vehicle registrations can be suspended for a lapse in insurance coverage. To reinstate the registration at a kiosk or online:

• You must have the access code or bar code from the suspension notice.
• The registration must be actually suspended (see the suspension date on the notice).
• Your insurance company must have reported your current insurance to the DMV (reporting can take up to one month).

The Nevada DMV won five national awards for its kiosk program in 2006.

In April, Director Ginny Lewis was named "Industry Deployer of the Year" and the department's self-service kiosks won top honors for "Best Kiosk Application for Government, Education or a Non-Profit Agency" at KioskCom's Fifth Annual Excellence Awards held in Las Vegas.

In September, the kiosks took the "Platinum Outstanding Achievement Award" at Self Service World magazine's annual show in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to the overall Platinum award, the kiosks took the top Gold awards in the categories of "Public Sector" and "Other".
