Signing Your Nevada Vehicle Title
Nevada title signing is straightforward, but accuracy matters. Use a blue or black ink pen only and sign your name exactly as it appears on the title. Any mistakes can void the title and delay the sale.
What Will Void a Nevada Title
- Signing in the wrong section
- Signature that does not match the name on the title
- Cross-outs, erasing, or writing over mistakes
- White-out or correction fluid
- Rips, tears, or damaged titles
- Using pencil or marker instead of ink
If a title is voided, the Nevada DMV will require a duplicate title before the vehicle can be sold.

Where to Sign a Nevada Title
Sign on the front of the title in the lower left section where it is labeled “Signature of Seller(s)”.
Print your name where it states “Printed Name of Seller(s)”.
Do not sign anywhere else unless the Nevada DMV specifically instructs you to.
Vehicles with Multiple Owners
Signature requirements depend on how the owners are listed on the Nevada title:
- Owner 1 OR Owner 2 – Only one owner must sign
- Owner 1 AND/OR Owner 2 – Only one owner must sign (unless one owner is deceased)
- Owner 1 AND Owner 2 – Both owners must sign
- No conjunction listed – Both owners must sign
Titles Showing a Lienholder
If a lienholder is listed on the Nevada title, the lien must be released before ownership can be transferred.
- Lien release completed directly on the title
- Or a separate lien release letter from the lender
Without a lien release, the DMV will not process the title transfer.
Replacing a Lost or Damaged Nevada Title
If your Nevada title is lost, stolen, damaged, or voided, you must obtain a duplicate title before selling the vehicle.
- Duplicate titles are issued by the Nevada DMV
- All owners listed on the title must complete the application
- Fees and processing times apply
