NRS 482.240  Issuance of certificates of registration and title by Department or registered dealer; period of validity of certificate.

      1.  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 482.2085, upon the registration of a vehicle, the Department or a registered dealer shall issue a certificate of registration to the owner.

      2.  When an applicant for registration or transfer of registration is unable, for any reason, to submit to the Department in support of the application for registration, or transfer of registration, such documentary evidence of legal ownership as, in the opinion of the Department, is sufficient to establish the legal ownership of the vehicle concerned in the application for registration or transfer of registration, the Department may issue to the applicant only a certificate of registration.

      3.  The Department may, upon proof of ownership satisfactory to it or pursuant to NRS 482.2605, issue a certificate of title before the registration of the vehicle concerned. The certificate of registration issued pursuant to this chapter is valid only during the registration period or calendar year for which it is issued, and a certificate of title is valid until cancelled by the Department upon the transfer of interest therein.
