The Las Vegas Township Constable’s “Fair Share” program is aimed at ensuring residents within its jurisdiction register their vehicles as required by state law. New residents are required to obtain their driver’s license within 30 days and register their vehicle with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at the same time, or within 60 days, whichever is sooner. To register your vehicle, you must provide proof of insurance from a Nevada-licensed carrier at the time of registration.

A hearing before a judge.

State law requires residents to obtain insurance from a Nevada-licensed carrier and register their vehicles with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Penalties for violating vehicle registration laws include a fine of up to $1,000 and a $100 fee if issued a citation by the Constable.
Under state law, NRS 482.103, certain persons are exempted from obtaining a driver’s license and registering their vehicles in Nevada. A resident is generally defined as someone who has employment in Nevada or has established his or her primary residence here. Tourists, out-of-state students, border state employees and seasonal residents are not considered residents. Military personnel, their spouses, dependents of military personnel and out-of-state students, are not considered residents unless they have civilian employment in Nevada. See the DMV’s website for further information about general residency requirements and rules related to military personnel.
For more information on how to register your vehicle, contact the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles or dial (702) 486-4368.
