Nevada title transfer costs vary based on the vehicle and transaction type. Here's what to expect:
We charge a reasonable service fee for processing your title transfer paperwork. This fee covers our expertise, time, and direct submission to the Nevada DMV. Contact your nearest location for current pricing.
Important: Nevada calculates Governmental Services Tax based on either the vehicle's purchase price OR its fair market value (as determined by NADA guides), whichever is higher. This prevents understating purchase prices to avoid taxes.
Solution: The current owner must apply for a duplicate title before the transfer can occur. We can help process duplicate title applications if the owner is present.
Solution: We process out-of-state title transfers regularly. Bring the out-of-state title, your Nevada insurance, and valid ID. We'll handle VIN verification and Nevada registration. Learn more about out-of-state registration.
Solution: You need a lien release letter from the lender showing the loan is paid off. Once you have this, we can complete the title transfer.
Solution: The seller must pay off their loan and obtain a lien release before the title can be transferred. We recommend handling the transaction at the lender's office to ensure proper payoff and immediate lien release.
Solution: The seller must request a duplicate title from the Nevada DMV (or their state if out-of-state). This typically takes 2-4 weeks. Once received, we can process the transfer.
Solution: Estate transfers require a death certificate and may require probate documents depending on the situation. Nevada law has specific requirements - bring documentation to any location and we'll guide you through the process.
Solution: The name on the title must match the ID. If you've legally changed your name (marriage, divorce, court order), bring documentation showing the name change along with your current ID.

Most Clark County vehicles require a current emissions test (within 90 days) for title transfers. We can perform the smog check during your visit - no need for a separate trip.
Costs vary based on vehicle type and purchase price. Nevada charges title fees, registration fees, license plate fees (if needed), and Governmental Services Tax based on the vehicle's value. Contact your nearest Smog Busters for a cost estimate based on your specific situation.
Yes, we issue temporary moving permits at most locations if you need to drive the vehicle while waiting for permanent registration. Learn more about temporary permits.
This rarely happens when you use Smog Busters because we verify everything before submission. If there's an issue, we contact you immediately and help resolve it before resubmitting to the Nevada DMV.
