Nevada DMV VP-185 “One and the Same Affidavit” | Do You Need a Notary in Las Vegas?

Yes, the Nevada DMV VP-185 “One and the Same Affidavit” requires notarization with original wet-ink signatures. Use VP-185 when the name on your title or registration doesn’t exactly match your legal name (maiden vs married, hyphenation, nickname, or minor spelling). Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides on-site VP-185 notarization across Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and Clark County—same-day, evenings, weekends.

📋 What is the Nevada DMV VP-185 “One and the Same Affidavit”?

VP-185 clarifies identity when a vehicle owner is known by more than one name or when a record shows a name variant. The form must be completed in full and signed in the presence of a Notary Public or an authorized DMV representative. When notarized, original signatures and notary stamp must appear on the document—photocopies are not accepted.
