VIN inspection · Nevada

Getting your VIN inspected in Nevada

Nevada lets a private inspector do this, so you can hire somebody instead of asking the police for a favor.

Who Nevada allows

  • Licensed Nevada dealer
  • Peace officer
  • DMV agent
  • Approved garage or service-station staff (NRS 482.220)

When you book

Tell them the form is Montana's and that they'll be completing Section 2 of it. A dealer or mechanic who does VIN verifications for Nevada will recognize the job.

IMPORTANT: trailers and vehicles made before 1980 must go to a Nevada DMV VIN station, and much of our inventory is pre-1980.

What happens at the inspection

Whoever does it fills in Section 2 of Montana form MV20 by hand, in ink, standing at the vehicle, and signs it. You collect one document showing their name and department or license, take four photos, and mail the original back to us with the return label from your packet and one Forever stamp.

Read the step-by-step, including what not to let them write on.
