Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit typically processes DLD-68 affidavits within 10-15 business days after receipt. During peak filing periods (post-holiday weekends, summer travel months), processing may extend to 20 business days. Drivers should keep mailing receipts and notary-sealed copies as proof of compliance until DMV updates their license record.

Reddit users in r/Vegas and r/Reno consistently report frustration with the lack of immediate confirmation. Unlike online renewals, DLD-68 submissions receive no automated acknowledgment. You can check your license status at dmv.nv.gov or call DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit at (775) 684-4368 to confirm receipt. Mobile notaries who provide professional affidavit services typically give clients sealed duplicate copies and time-stamped documentation for DMV verification if questioned during the processing window.

⏱️ Processing Timeline:

• Days 1-3: USPS delivery to DMV Financial Responsibility Unit (certified mail recommended)
• Days 4-8: DMV staff review affidavit for completeness, notary seal validity, and supporting documents
• Days 9-15: DMV enters filing into system; license suspension hold removed if affidavit approved
• Days 16-20: Confirmation letter mailed to your address on file (optional; not always sent)

📋 Proof of Compliance: Drivers throughout Downtown Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas frequently request notary-sealed extra copies of their DLD-68 to carry in their vehicle during the processing period. If stopped by law enforcement, you can show proof of filing before DMV's computer system reflects the update.
