The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced an additional extension for expired or soon-to-be expired driver's licenses and ID cards, and new limited Saturday hours for new Nevada residents.
Officials said licenses, permits and IDs with the expiration date of March 12, 2020 or later have been extended for an additional 60 days from September 14 through November 12, 2020. The existing extension was set to expire this Sunday, September 13. A one-year extension for drivers age 65 and older remains in effect.
The DMV will be offering online renewals for most driver's licenses and all ID cards in October.
Up to 75,000 Nevadans will be eligible for online renewals through the end of December, with some 100,000 eligible for each future year.
The new 60-day extension does not apply to vehicle registration or other DMV documents. The extension for registration for those documents not extended will expire on September 13.
Movement permits are available without an appointment at all DMV offices, registration renewals can be done online and at kiosks, and most vehicle purchased from a Nevada dealer can be registered online.
There are currently more than 200,000 expired vehicle registrations in Nevada.
To accommodate for difficulties getting appointments under COVID-19 restrictions, the DMV is offering limited Saturday hours specifically for new Nevada residents.
DMV Offices will be open for new residents who need a driver's license or ID by appointment only from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. beginning on Saturday, September 19. You can find a special phone number for new residents to make an appointment at dmvnv.com.
New residents who are unable to get a license may still register to vote by submitting a paper application to their county clerk through October 6. The application can be found at nvsos.gov.
