While Nevada exempts vehicles less than 4 years old from emission testing, DMV clerks often require EC-008 when you're registering an out-of-state title, even for brand-new vehicles. The EC-008 documents for DMV records why no Nevada smog certificate is attached to your registration packet, preventing processing delays.

This confusion happens most frequently in these situations:

• California dealer purchase: You bought a 2024 or 2025 vehicle from a California dealer and are registering it in Nevada for the first time
• Out-of-state title transfer: Your vehicle is titled in another state and you're transferring to Nevada registration
• Private party purchase: You purchased a new or nearly-new vehicle from a private party in Arizona, California, or elsewhere
• Dealer packet submissions: Auto dealers handling your Nevada registration often include EC-008 to prevent DMV rejection

📋 Why DMV Wants EC-008 for New Vehicles: Nevada DMV's registration system flags any out-of-state title transfer without a Nevada emission certificate attached. The EC-008 provides written documentation that the vehicle is exempt from testing due to its age, not because you're dodging emissions requirements. This prevents your registration from being flagged for follow-up review, which adds 7-14 days to processing.

⚠️ Notarization Required: EC-008 is a jurat affidavit requiring Nevada notary signature, even for new vehicle registrations. Lake Mead Mobile Notary works with auto dealerships throughout Henderson and Las Vegas to complete dealer submission packets on-site. For private party purchases, we meet buyers at Anthem, Green Valley, or anywhere in Clark County to notarize EC-008 and bill of sale simultaneously.

💡 Pro Tip for Dealer Purchases: If you're buying a vehicle from a Nevada dealer, they should handle EC-008 as part of their registration service. If you're buying from an out-of-state dealer or private party, ask if EC-008 is needed before going to DMV. Having a notarized EC-008 ready prevents being turned away and having to make a second DMV trip after finding a notary.

In a Nevada mortgage package, only some documents are notarized. The most common notarized document is the Deed of Trust, which secures the property as collateral. Other pages that often require notarization include specific affidavits (identity, occupancy, or name variations) and certain title or escrow affidavits when the closing instructions call for them. Many lender forms are executed without notarization and only need signatures or initials.

• Typically notarized: Deed of Trust, corrections/limited power of attorney when required by title, occupancy or identity affidavits, compliance or gap affidavits, and select title affidavits.
• Usually not notarized: Promissory Note, Closing Disclosure, initial escrow disclosures, privacy notices, and most lender specific acknowledgments that only require signatures or initials.
• Jurat vs acknowledgment: Affidavits and sworn statements use a jurat with an oath or affirmation. The Deed of Trust and similar instruments use an acknowledgment to confirm identity and voluntary execution.
• Non borrowing spouse: In community property scenarios, a non borrowing spouse may need to sign certain title documents. The specific pages and notarizations depend on title instructions and vesting.
