DMV Appointments in Nevada

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allows you to book appointments for certain types of office visits, which we'll go over below. Keep in mind not all tasks require an in-person visit to a branch office; find out which online services you can take care of from your own computer.

Schedule an Appointment with Dash Pass

The Nevada DMV uses a system called Dash Pass to ensure you won't spend hours waiting at the DMV. With Dash Pass you can:

  • Join the line virtually for some locations. 
    • Dash Pass will send you text reminders and updates of your position in line so you know when it's time to head to the DMV.
  • Schedule appointments for certain tasks at the DMV agencies in Carson City, Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno.
    • You CANNOT use Dash Pass to schedule appointments for:
      • Written exams.
      • Behind-the-wheel exams (see below).
      • Reinstating your driver's license or car registration.
      • Dealer/third-party registration and titling.

Use Dash Pass to spend less time in line and more time enjoying the wonders of the Silver State!

Schedule Your Driving Test with the NV DMV

At this time, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles offers appointments (scheduled online) for the following types of driver skills tests (i.e. road tests):

  • Class C (non-commercial) driver licenses.
  • Class M (motorcycle) driver licenses.

To make an appointment for your CDL driving skills test, call your local CDL office.
