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.

Reverse mortgage signings are more detailed and often take longer than standard refinances. Borrowers should prepare valid government issued ID, the reverse mortgage counseling certificate provided by the HUD approved counselor, and any occupancy or identity affidavits required by title. Non borrowing spouses may need to sign certain disclosures or acknowledgments even if they are not on the loan. We verify identity, confirm willingness, and notarize the pages that require a Nevada jurat or acknowledgment.

• What is usually notarized: Deed of Trust or equivalent security instrument, select title or lender affidavits, and other sworn statements when instructed.
• Spousal participation: A non borrowing spouse may sign spousal or occupancy documents based on title requirements and vesting. Bring valid ID for every signer.
• Time and environment: Expect a longer table session with clear lighting and a stable surface. We move at a steady pace and confirm each signature and initial block.
• Scan backs and drop: Many reverse assignments require scan backs for review before the shipping label drop. We provide clear scans and immediate tracking updates.

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.
