Yes. Nevada DMV accepts VP-136 forms signed by deployed military personnel before departure or notarized by military notaries stationed overseas. Pre-deployment VP-136 notarization allows service members to authorize family members to sell vehicles, complete registration renewals, and handle DMV transactions during deployment throughout Las Vegas and Henderson military family communities.

Military notaries at overseas bases can notarize VP-136 forms provided the notarial certificate meets Nevada acknowledgment requirements. Nevada DMV accepts military notary certificates with proper commission information and official seal. Mobile notary service coordinates pre-deployment VP-136 notarization near Nellis Air Force Base and Creech AFB family housing areas.
