Beginning July 1, 2025, the DMV may issue no more than 30 special plate designs at one time. It can allow up to five extra designs only if the sponsor posts a $20,000 bond and the design reaches 3,000 plates. Each year on October 1, the DMV reviews counts; if a design is under 1,000 (or under 3,000 for the extra designs) and still low on December 31, the DMV stops issuing it. Current holders can keep and renew their plates. The law also updates what counts as a special plate and aligns cross-references. The NSU plate created by this act is exempt from some normal application thresholds, like the 1,000 applications in two years rule.
Beginning July 1, 2025, you can get a Nevada State University special plate for cars, light trucks, and motorcycles. You pay $35 plus $25 at first issue ($60 total), and $10 plus $20 ($30 total) at each renewal. These are on top of normal registration fees and taxes. The extra fees are split each quarter between NSU athletics and the NSU Foundation program that provides food, school supplies, clothing, and hygiene items. You may personalize the plate if you also pay the personalized-plate fees. You can transfer the plate to another eligible vehicle by applying and paying the transfer and any due registration fees, or return it within 30 days.
Beginning July 1, 2025, you can choose a 3-year trailer registration. You must pay at registration all fees and taxes that cover the full three years, including any special or personalized plate fees. This option does not cover full trailers or semitrailers registered under NRS 482.483(3). For those full trailers or semitrailers, the DMV cannot issue NSU or other listed special plates.
Beginning July 1, 2025, a new‑vehicle dealer authorized to issue registrations may not accept a registration application when the buyer wants a listed special plate, including the NSU plate. Buyers must handle those special plate requests through the DMV instead.
Beginning July 1, 2025, you can transfer your registration and keep the same special plate if it fits the new vehicle. You must apply and pay the transfer fee and any extra registration fee or governmental services tax due. Replacing a covered special plate costs $10 per replacement plate or set. You may also request a sample special plate marked “SAMPLE,” and the Director may charge up to $15 for each sample.
