Nevada follows federal odometer disclosure rules for most transfers of ownership. For late-model vehicles, the title usually includes a designated odometer section that must be completed accurately. When a separate sworn statement is required, the disclosure is often paired with a notary jurat.

• Which vehicles: Odometer disclosure applies to most passenger vehicles under federal rules for a defined model-year range. Newer vehicles often have specific title sections. Very old vehicles or vehicles above certain thresholds may be exempt. Check your title and instructions.
• How notarization fits: The title itself is typically signed, and when the deal includes a sworn declaration or corrective affidavit, that page is notarized with a jurat. We administer an oath or affirmation and witness the signature.
• Common mistakes: Leaving mileage blank, using an estimate without labeling, or writing over corrections. Complete the section cleanly and bring any supporting forms your DMV clerk requested.
• Power of attorney use: If an agent signs on behalf of the owner, DMV may require a properly notarized VP 136 and may limit POA usage for certain odometer situations. Verify before your appointment.

Nevada DMV does not legally require bill of sale notarization for vehicle transfers, but financial institutions, out-of-state buyers, and individual DMV title clerks frequently demand notarized bills of sale to verify transaction authenticity. Mobile bill of sale notarization provides same-day service at **$45 for single documents** and **$55 for multi-document packages** throughout Henderson and Las Vegas Valley.

Nevada Revised Statutes do not mandate notarization for Form VP-104 bill of sale, but Nevada DMV strongly recommends notarization when sellers and buyers cannot appear together at DMV offices or when vehicles involve outstanding liens, high values, or complex ownership situations. Most banks and credit unions refuse loan processing without notarized bills of sale regardless of Nevada law.

📋 When Notarization Is Strongly Recommended:

• Bank-financed purchases requiring lender-approved documentation
• Out-of-state buyers needing home-state DMV submission requirements
• High-value vehicles ($20,000+) where title insurance companies mandate notarization
• Private party sales where buyer and seller cannot appear together at DMV
• Auction purchases requiring additional transaction verification
• Dealer wholesale transactions involving floor plan financing

⚠️ Common DMV Processing Issues Without Notarization:

• Title clerks may reject unclear or suspicious signatures on VP-104 forms
• Processing delays while DMV contacts sellers for signature verification
• Banks refuse loan disbursement without notarized transaction proof
• Out-of-state DMV offices reject Nevada bills of sale lacking notarization
