Nevada requires you to keep your plates and either use them on another vehicle or turn them in to the DMV.
Your vehicle will be stored or under repairs for an extended period and you do not wish to keep the liability insurance or registration in effect. You have sold or otherwise disposed of a vehicle and will not use the plates on another vehicle. Surrender the plates before you cancel the insurance. You intend to cancel the vehicle liability insurance for any reason. You must cancel your registration and surrender your license plates if: Movement permits and the Affidavit are available online through MyDMV. Complete an Affidavit of Non-Operation (VP 018) to avoid the late fees for the period of non-use.
Get a Movement Permit if you must drive the vehicle at all.
If you won't be driving your vehicle for only a short period of time, you should maintain the registration and insurance.
Failure to do so can result in significant fines. You must cancel your registration before you drop the insurance on your vehicle.
