LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada drivers now have a new way to report vehicles with expired registration or no license plates at all, and the response has been overwhelming. Since the Nevada DMV announced its Registration Spotter website Friday, the agency has received more than 900 submissions from the public in just a few days.
“Since Friday… we currently have over 900 submissions… So our guys are going to be staying busy for a while,” said Hailey Foster, public information officer at the Nevada DMV.
The DMV is looking for vehicles operating on Nevada roads with expired, invalid, or no registration, including those with illegal out-of-state plates. When reports come in, they are added to a master list accessible to all compliance officers.
“All of our officers have permission and access to this form. So, it’s kind of like an Excel spreadsheet of all the submissions,” Foster added. “Everything will be checked daily, hourly, it’s kind of going to be now like a part of their daily routine to kind of see what is going on.”
“Now we are just seeing people literally driving without license plates,” shared Chief JD Decker with the Nevada DMV Enforcement Division. Earlier this year, FOX5 rode along with DMV compliance officers looking for violations. However, the team of about two dozen officers can’t look everywhere, making public assistance valuable.
“This is a way for people to kind of help us, you know, extra eyes out there… I think we are one of the first states, if not the first state, to actually have something like this,” Foster revealed. This is a statewide reporting system. If a DMV compliance officer can’t get to a location to check out a report, they can share data with other law enforcement agencies to help check out the report.
The DMV says the overwhelming response shows how many people are willing to help with enforcement efforts. A link to file reports can be found here.
