What is Nevada VP-222?

Form VP-222 is the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles' Application for Vehicle Registration. The DMV's forms page says it's needed when applying for original registration and must be signed by the owner.

The one-page form asks for the VIN, year, make and model, the declared gross weight of a truck or bus or the unladen weight of a trailer, the county where the vehicle will be based, and the odometer reading. Then come the applicant's full legal name, a Nevada driver's license or ID number (or date of birth, FEIN for businesses, or motor carrier number), the physical Nevada address, mailing address, phone and email. By signing, you declare you'll keep the vehicle insured as Nevada law requires; trailers are exempt from the insurance requirement.

FileIt prints your answers into the DMV's PDF, one VIN character per box, and can send it for your e-signature. The PDF is saved in your vault. FileIt doesn't file anything with the Nevada DMV.

How to fill out Nevada VP-222, step by step

1 Vehicle

The VIN, one character per box, then year, make and model.

2 Weights, county and odometer

A truck or bus gives its declared gross weight; a trailer (not a travel trailer) its unladen weight. Then the county where the vehicle will be based and the current odometer reading.

3 Applicant

Your full legal name under First, Middle and Last (or a business name), and your Nevada driver's license or ID card number, date of birth, FEIN or motor carrier number.

4 Addresses and contact

Your physical Nevada address, a mailing address, telephone and email.

5 Sign

The registered owner (or a person with power of attorney) signs and dates the declaration about insurance. FileIt can send it for e-signature.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Bringing out-of-state insurance. The form says it won't be accepted.
  • Insurance cards without the NRS 485.185 statement.
  • Leaving fields blank. The form says all fields must be completed.
  • A false or fictitious name or address, which the form calls a gross misdemeanor.
