Some Nevada specialty license plates do not display the full plate number needed for registration renewal, law enforcement queries and other uses. All plates are listed below with the correct search prefix and the number of characters needed to complete the plate number. Prefixes are for sequential plate numbering only.
Personalized plates display the complete plate number regardless of the plate style or background and may contain the letter "0", which is diamond-shaped. Standard sequential plates do not contain the letter "0".
Nevada plate numbers do not contain spaces or special characters even if these are displayed on the plate itself.
Click on a link to show a sample image. Not all plates are available in the motorcycle style.
The number next to the code for full size plates indicates how many characters are allowed in addition to the prefix. Small plates have three characters except for the Lake Tahoe plate, which has four and the Old Timer, which has two.
* Discontinued plates - These are no longer issued but may remain in use by the original owner.
