Temporary Moving Permit
Tropicana & Morris

You need to move an unregistered vehicle and you need the paperwork to do it legally on Nevada roads. Call first to confirm your situation qualifies, then come in. Standard Nevada TMP situations are handled right here on E Tropicana.

A Nevada temporary moving permit gives you a legal window to move an unregistered vehicle. Whether you just bought a car, have a registration that lapsed, or need to get a vehicle somewhere for repair or registration, a TMP covers you for the move. The hut at 5215 E Tropicana Ave handles standard TMP situations. Because eligibility depends on the specifics of your vehicle and situation, a quick call before you come in is the right first step. Across from the Whitney Library, in the lot next to Butch Cassidy’s, the hut is right in the Whitney and Stallion Mountain corridor if you are on the east side.

What a TMP Is

When You Need to Move a Vehicle That Is Not Currently Registered

A Nevada temporary moving permit is a short-term authorization that lets you legally operate an unregistered vehicle on Nevada roads for a limited period. Common situations include vehicles recently purchased that have not yet been registered, vehicles with a lapsed registration, or vehicles being moved to a location for registration or repair.

A TMP is not the same as registration. It is a temporary solution to allow the vehicle to be moved legally. It does not renew your registration or substitute for it permanently. Once you have the permit, you move the vehicle and then follow through on getting the registration handled.

Call (702) 436-5346 before you come in. Eligibility depends on your specific vehicle and situation. Confirming ahead of time saves you a trip if something about your situation needs additional steps.

What to Bring

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Vehicle information: VIN, plate number if the vehicle has one, year/make/model
  • Any relevant title or registration paperwork you have
  • Payment for the TMP fee

Call ahead first and we can confirm exactly what documents your specific situation requires before you come in.

After You Get the TMP

A TMP covers a limited window. Use it to move the vehicle and then take care of the registration. If registration requires a smog check, that can be handled at this hut once the vehicle is in place. See registration renewal at Tropicana & Morris for what that process looks like.

Location: 5215 E Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89122. In the lot with the liquor store and Butch Cassidy’s bar. Whitney Library directly across Tropicana. Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 8am–4pm.
