Only the principal (vehicle owner granting authority) must appear before the notary. The agent does not sign VP-136 and does not need to be present during notarization. Nevada DMV requires proper acknowledgment certificate with Nevada notary commission information, official seal impression, and original signatures only.

📋 Principal Requirements:

• Valid government photo ID (Nevada license, passport, state ID, military ID)
• Must be physically present before Nevada notary (no remote notarization)
• Must sign form in notary's presence (cannot pre-sign)
• Must be alert and understand the document's purpose
• Full legal name must match vehicle title exactly

✅ Form Completion Requirements:

• Principal and agent full legal names and addresses
• Vehicle year, make, model, and 17-character VIN (must match title)
• Specific powers granted (title transfer, registration, duplicate title, lien release)
• Nevada notarial acknowledgment certificate completed by notary
• Official Nevada notary seal impression (legible and complete)

⚠️ Common DMV Rejection Reasons:

• Missing or illegible notary seal
• Pre-signed forms (must sign in notary's presence)
• Incorrect VIN or vehicle description
• Out-of-state notary certificate (must be Nevada notary)
• Photocopied or faxed VP-136 (original required)

Nevada DMV's official guidance states that NVL-003 submissions should include "original supporting documents demonstrating the vehicle was inoperable or stored during the suspension period." However, the exact documents accepted vary by DMV office and the length of your suspension. Most drivers face this dilemma: the car was simply parked in their driveway or apartment complex parking lot—how do you formally prove that?

📋 Accepted Supporting Documents (in order of DMV preference):

• Mechanical repair records: Dated repair shop invoices showing the vehicle was inoperable during suspension (engine failure, transmission work, collision damage). Must cover the entire suspension period
• Commercial storage facility receipts: Paid storage invoices from storage units, RV storage, or vehicle storage facilities documenting the car was off-road during suspension
• Medical documentation: Hospital admission records, surgery dates, or extended care facility statements proving you were physically unable to drive during the suspension period
• Military deployment orders: Official orders showing you were stationed out of state or overseas when the suspension occurred, with vehicle stored in Nevada
• Travel documentation: Airline tickets, hotel receipts, or work assignment letters proving extended out-of-state absence while vehicle remained in Nevada

⚠️ For Suspension Under 30 Days: DMV typically accepts the notarized NVL-003 affidavit alone without extensive supporting documentation. The shorter the suspension, the less scrutiny. Most insurance payment failures that are corrected within 2-3 weeks qualify for NVL-003 without additional proof.

💡 Alternative Evidence When No Formal Paperwork Exists: If your car was simply parked at home and you have no repair receipts or storage invoices, DMV may accept:

• Time-stamped photos: Photos of the vehicle in the same parking spot throughout the suspension period, showing dust accumulation, flat tires, or visible lack of use
• Neighbor or property manager statements: Signed letters from neighbors, landlords, or HOA managers confirming the vehicle remained stationary during the entire period (does not require notarization)
• Workplace parking records: Statement from employer confirming the vehicle was not parked at your workplace during suspension (you used rideshare/public transit)
• Rideshare/public transit receipts: Uber, Lyft, or RTC bus pass receipts covering the suspension period, demonstrating alternative transportation use
• No parking tickets or violations: DMV database check confirming no parking enforcement activity, toll road usage, or traffic violations during suspension

🏠 Real-World Example: Insurance lapsed on March 1st, DMV suspended registration March 31st, you discovered it April 5th and obtained new insurance April 6th. Your vehicle sat in your Del Webb driveway the entire 5-day suspension. Supporting documents: (1) Notarized NVL-003 with correct dates, (2) Photos of vehicle in driveway taken April 1, 3, and 5, (3) Uber receipts showing rides to work April 1-5, (4) Brief signed statement from neighbor confirming they saw the car parked every day. This package is typically sufficient for DMV acceptance.

⚠️ Suspensions Over 90 Days Require Stronger Proof: If your registration was suspended for months, DMV expects compelling evidence the vehicle was truly dormant. "It was parked in my driveway" is less credible for 120-day suspensions. Consider whether traffic court penalty route is more appropriate if you cannot document long-term dormancy.

📱 We provide mobile notarization for NVL-003 throughout Mesquite, Las Vegas, and Henderson. During your appointment, we can advise on whether your supporting documentation appears sufficient based on our experience with hundreds of NVL-003 submissions across Clark County DMV offices.

Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit typically processes DLD-68 affidavits within 10-15 business days after receipt. During peak filing periods (post-holiday weekends, summer travel months), processing may extend to 20 business days. Drivers should keep mailing receipts and notary-sealed copies as proof of compliance until DMV updates their license record.

Reddit users in r/Vegas and r/Reno consistently report frustration with the lack of immediate confirmation. Unlike online renewals, DLD-68 submissions receive no automated acknowledgment. You can check your license status at dmv.nv.gov or call DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit at (775) 684-4368 to confirm receipt. Mobile notaries who provide professional affidavit services typically give clients sealed duplicate copies and time-stamped documentation for DMV verification if questioned during the processing window.

⏱️ Processing Timeline:

• Days 1-3: USPS delivery to DMV Financial Responsibility Unit (certified mail recommended)
• Days 4-8: DMV staff review affidavit for completeness, notary seal validity, and supporting documents
• Days 9-15: DMV enters filing into system; license suspension hold removed if affidavit approved
• Days 16-20: Confirmation letter mailed to your address on file (optional; not always sent)

📋 Proof of Compliance: Drivers throughout Downtown Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas frequently request notary-sealed extra copies of their DLD-68 to carry in their vehicle during the processing period. If stopped by law enforcement, you can show proof of filing before DMV's computer system reflects the update.
