What is the Nevada DMV VP‑022 Statement of Facts?
The Nevada DMV VP‑022 Statement of Facts is an official form used to explain unusual vehicle circumstances, missing documentation, or title discrepancies that may prevent successful registration or title transfer in Nevada.
Dealers, private sellers, buyers, and title companies use VP‑022 when original titles are lost, vehicles were purchased out of state, branded or salvage titles are involved, or other issues require written explanation and DMV review.
The signer provides detailed facts about the vehicle, ownership history, and specific problem, then signs under oath in front of a notary. The notary administers the oath, witnesses the signature, and completes a jurat certificate so the DMV can rely on the statement as a sworn declaration.

When You Need a VP‑022 Statement of Facts
The VP‑022 is commonly required any time the DMV needs a sworn explanation to move a vehicle registration or title transfer forward.
1
Missing original title
The original Nevada or out‑of‑state title has been lost, damaged, or is otherwise unavailable, and DMV requires a sworn explanation before issuing a duplicate or approving registration.
2
Out‑of‑state vehicle purchase
You purchased a vehicle in another state and are bringing it into Nevada, and DMV needs clarification on the purchase, title status, or prior registration history.
3
Branded or salvage title issues
The vehicle has a salvage, rebuilt, flood, or other branded title, and DMV asks for a Statement of Facts documenting damage, repairs, or how the vehicle was acquired.
4
Private‑party sales with incomplete paperwork
You are buying or selling a used vehicle and the paperwork is incomplete or confusing, and DMV requires a sworn explanation of how and from whom the vehicle was acquired.
5
Dealership or title transfer discrepancies
Dealership inventory, auction vehicles, or trade‑ins have unusual title histories, multiple owners, or documentation gaps that must be explained to DMV in writing.

Follow these steps to prepare and notarize your VP‑022 so it is ready for DMV submission:
1
Download and complete the form
Download VP‑022 from the Nevada DMV and fill in the vehicle information, VIN, ownership details, and a clear, truthful explanation of the situation. Leave the signature line blank.

Bring a valid government‑issued photo ID along with any titles, registrations, bills of sale, auction paperwork, or repair documents that support your statement.

Our Nevada notary reviews the completed VP‑022 with you, verifies your identity, and confirms that you understand you are making a sworn statement under penalty of perjury.
5

You raise your hand, take an oath or affirmation that the contents are true, and then sign the VP‑022 in the notary’s presence. The notary completes the jurat certificate and applies an official Nevada notary seal.

Who Must Sign the VP‑022 Statement of Facts?
Signer requirements
The VP‑022 must be signed by the vehicle owner or other authorized person who is in a position to truthfully explain the facts to DMV and who appears in person before the notary with valid photo ID.
Typical signers
- Current vehicle owner completing a Statement of Facts to support registration, duplicate title, or title correction.
- Private‑party seller explaining how the vehicle was acquired, why documentation is incomplete, or clarifying ownership history.
- Vehicle buyer documenting the circumstances of a purchase, especially in private‑party or out‑of‑state transactions.
- Dealership representative (owner, GM, or authorized manager) providing facts about dealership inventory, auction purchases, or prior paperwork issues.
- Multiple signers when co‑owners or multiple parties must each provide their own sworn explanation; each signer must appear before the notary and present ID.
Important legal reminder
VP‑022 is a sworn statement. Providing false information to DMV can have serious legal consequences. The notary’s role is to verify identity and administer the oath, not to judge the truth of the facts you provide.
