📋 What is the NVL-003 Dormant Vehicle Affidavit?
The NVL-003 is a sworn statement that your vehicle was not operated during a Nevada insurance lapse. It is used to reinstate suspended registration after you obtain current Nevada liability insurance. The affidavit must be completed in full and notarized (or DMV-witnessed) using original, unaltered signatures.
Bring proof supporting the dormant period (for example: storage documentation, tow/repair receipts, work orders), along with current Nevada Evidence of Insurance. DMV may also request a Property Owner Affidavit (NVL-025) if you claim the vehicle was stored at a specific address.
When approved, DMV reduces the reinstatement fee to $50. Any fines for the insurance lapse may still apply, and normal taxes/fees are due at renewal.
