Yes. Nevada law (NRS 108.270) requires you to send certified mail, return receipt requested, to both the registered owner AND all lienholders shown on the DMV title record. Missing either notification invalidates your entire VP-147 lien sale process, even if you properly notified the owner. This is the number one reason auction houses reject VP-147 submissions from tow operators.

The confusion is understandable. A former tow operator explains on automotive forums: "Tow company has to send 3 certified letters to both the titled owner and the lien holder over about 6 week period before they can lien sale the vehicle." But what happens when the lienholder is a bank that merged, went out of business, or has an outdated address on the DMV record?

📋 Nevada's Dual Notification Requirement Explained:

• Registered owner notification: Required because they own the vehicle subject to the lien. Must use address from DMV registration records, even if you know it's outdated
• Lienholder notification: Required because they have a secured interest in the vehicle. The lender loaned money against the vehicle and has first rights to any sale proceeds
• Multiple lienholders: If DMV records show two lienholders (first lien and second lien), you must notify both separately
• Timing: Send both certified letters on the same day; the 30-day waiting period runs from the date of mailing

⚠️ What If You Can't Find Current Lienholder Information? If the lienholder on DMV records is a bank that no longer exists (merged, acquired, or failed), you have several options:

• Research the successor bank: Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia, Chase acquired WaMu, etc. Send certified mail to the current entity at their registered agent address
• Contact Nevada DMV Title Research: They can sometimes provide updated lienholder contact information for lien sale purposes ($15 title search fee)
• Document your good-faith effort: Keep records of your research attempts (internet searches, phone calls to bank customer service, successor bank inquiries). If certified mail returns undeliverable, this documentation supports your VP-147
• Consider legal consultation: For high-value vehicles or complex lien situations, consult an attorney before proceeding with lien sale. Wrongful sale to a vehicle with valid lien = potential lawsuit

💡 The Most Common Mistake: Tow operators send certified mail only to the registered owner, assuming the bank "knows" the vehicle was towed because the owner stopped making payments. Wrong. The lienholder must receive independent notification of the impending lien sale. Without proof of certified mail to the lienholder (green return receipt or returned undeliverable envelope), your notarized VP-147 affidavit will be rejected by Pahrump auctions, Copart, IAA, and DMV during title transfer processing.

🏢 We provide on-site VP-147 notarization at tow yards throughout Aliante, North Las Vegas, and Clark County. During your notarization appointment, we can review your certified mail documentation to ensure both owner and lienholder notifications are properly documented before you sign the affidavit under oath.

Reverse mortgage signings are more detailed and often take longer than standard refinances. Borrowers should prepare valid government issued ID, the reverse mortgage counseling certificate provided by the HUD approved counselor, and any occupancy or identity affidavits required by title. Non borrowing spouses may need to sign certain disclosures or acknowledgments even if they are not on the loan. We verify identity, confirm willingness, and notarize the pages that require a Nevada jurat or acknowledgment.

• What is usually notarized: Deed of Trust or equivalent security instrument, select title or lender affidavits, and other sworn statements when instructed.
• Spousal participation: A non borrowing spouse may sign spousal or occupancy documents based on title requirements and vesting. Bring valid ID for every signer.
• Time and environment: Expect a longer table session with clear lighting and a stable surface. We move at a steady pace and confirm each signature and initial block.
• Scan backs and drop: Many reverse assignments require scan backs for review before the shipping label drop. We provide clear scans and immediate tracking updates.

No. In Nevada, a primary residence is protected as a single homestead. A married couple should typically complete one Declaration of Homestead listing the owners as they appear on title, then sign before a notary using an acknowledgment. The Clark County Recorder records the single document for the property; filing two separate declarations can create confusion in the public record.
