NVL 003 Dormant Vehicle Affidavit

Use NVL 003 to report a vehicle that was not operated for seasonal or mechanical reasons while it lacked Nevada motor vehicle liability insurance.

What this form is

The registered owner uses NVL 003 to describe when a vehicle was not operated and whether seasonal or mechanical circumstances kept it off the road. The form requests vehicle and owner information, a declaration, and supporting documentation covering the uninsured period. The document says qualifying owners may be considered for a reduced reinstatement fee, subject to the department’s review of the evidence.

Who needs it

Registered owners seeking consideration for a reduced reinstatement fee after a dormant vehicle’s insurance coverage was canceled or expired.

Why it needs a notary

The owner’s signature must be notarized or witnessed by an authorized DMV Representative; notarization can be done online with a commissioned online notary.

How to submit it

Present the completed affidavit, original supporting receipts or documentation, evidence of current Nevada liability insurance, and NVL019 at a full-service DMV office or County Assessor, where applicable.
