We just went through a similar experience last year with our Sprite. It had
come from Colorado to California without a title.
California DMV had us request Colorado DMV to do a title search and provide
us with a document (Statement of Facts) stating that there were no
existing titles or liens on the car in Colorado. With that document in
hand, and another one given us by California DMV, we were then instructed
to take the car and truck on down to the local CHP office where they did a
visual numbers verification. Then, it was back to the California DMV, give
them the papers and some money, and they finally gave us some license
plates and a title. Whew!!!!...what a hassle
Oh yeah....the DMV would have done the numbers check, instead of sending us
to the CHP, 'cept Cindy did not yet know how to open the hood! What can I
say? I married a blonde. In her defense though...at the time the hood
release cable had no knob and required vise-grips to operate.
Anyway...I suspect Nevada will require you to go through a similar trip to
title your car. Be patient, the end results justify the aggravation.
