Yes, but you must submit a notarized EC-008 Emission Control Exemption Application with your mail-in renewal packet. Nevada DMV requires EC-008 notarization for all mail-in renewals that claim emission testing exemption, regardless of your reason for being out of state.

Common situations requiring notarized EC-008 for mail-in renewal include:

• Military deployment: Active duty stationed overseas or out of state where Nevada emissions testing is unavailable
• Snowbird residents: Nevada residents spending extended periods in Arizona, California, or other states during winter months
• Extended work travel: Long-term job assignments, contract work, or temporary relocations preventing return to Nevada
• College students: Nevada residents attending out-of-state universities and maintaining Nevada vehicle registration
• Medical situations: Extended care or treatment at out-of-state facilities

📬 Mail-In Renewal Process with EC-008:

1. Download and complete EC-008 form (leave signature section blank)
2. Have EC-008 notarized by a Nevada notary (required even if you're in another state)
3. Mail notarized EC-008 + renewal notice + payment to address on renewal notice
4. DMV processes in 10-14 business days and mails registration documents to your Nevada address

⚠️ Nevada Notary Requirement: Even if you're in California, Arizona, or another state, EC-008 must be notarized by a Nevada-commissioned notary with a Nevada seal. Out-of-state notaries are not accepted for Nevada DMV forms. If you're unable to return to Nevada, you have two options: coordinate with a Nevada mobile notary during a brief return visit, or have a Nevada resident with notarized power of attorney handle the renewal on your behalf.

💡 Planning Ahead: Many Nevada residents who winter in Arizona or travel frequently schedule mobile notary appointments at their Seven Hills, Summerlin, or Henderson homes before leaving the state. We notarize EC-008 forms in advance, and you mail them when your renewal notice arrives. This prevents renewal delays and late fees ($6 per month).
