What's the difference between a police crash report and the DMV's DLD-68 affidavit?

Police reports and DMV crash affidavits are separate filings with different agencies. A police crash report documents law enforcement's investigation, while the DLD-68 affidavit is submitted to the Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit explaining why you missed the 10-day SR-1 filing deadline. Only the DMV filing prevents license suspension.

Many drivers assume filing a police report satisfies all post-crash obligations. In reality, Nevada law (NRS 484E.070) requires independent DMV notification within 10 days for any crash involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $750. Police reports are not forwarded to DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit. When that deadline passes, you must submit a notarized DLD-68 affidavit to avoid automatic suspension.

📋 Key Differences:

  • Police Report: Filed with law enforcement; establishes fault/liability for insurance claims
  • DLD-68 Affidavit: Filed with Nevada DMV; sworn statement explaining late reporting; prevents license suspension
  • Notarization Requirement: Police reports = no notary needed; DLD-68 = wet-ink notary signature mandatory
  • Processing Agency: Police = local jurisdiction; DLD-68 = DMV Financial Responsibility Unit in Carson City

⚠️ Critical Timeline: If you miss the 10-day SR-1 window, DMV sends a suspension warning letter giving you 10-15 business days to submit a notarized DLD-68. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day DLD-68 notarization throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and all Clark County areas, ensuring your affidavit reaches DMV before suspension takes effect.

Are You Allowed to Use Your Own Notary for Real Estate Closing Instead of Title Company's?

Most title companies require using their own notaries for real estate closings to maintain chain of custody, ensure compliance with specific lender instructions, and manage liability. While your own notary is legally valid in Nevada, title companies contractually mandate their selected notaries. Using an unauthorized notary can lead to rejection, closing delays, or escrow complications.

Why Title Companies Insist on Their Notaries:

Title companies coordinate with lenders, insurers, and county recorders—all of whom have specific requirements. They need notarization consistency and direct communication with the notary handling your closing. They also carry errors & omissions (E&O) insurance that covers their contracted notaries, which may not apply to independent notaries.

🔑 Can You Use Your Own Notary?

In rare cases, yes—but only with prior written approval from:

  • The title company (may have exceptions for scheduling conflicts)
  • Your lender (may require their approval)
  • The seller's title company (if using separate title agents)

📋 Legitimate Reasons for Exception Requests:

  • Your notary has existing relationship and coordination history
  • Title company's notary has scheduling conflicts or excessive travel costs
  • Out-of-state remote notarization is the only practical option
  • Your notary is bonded, insured, and Nevada-commissioned

⚠️ Best Practice:

Always disclose your preferred notary to the title company early in the transaction. Get written approval in advance. If they refuse and delays occur, professional notaries in Summerlin and Water Street can coordinate with title company staff to facilitate acceptance or serve as backup if needed.
