Nevada Front License Plate Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nevada law usually requires two license plates: one on the front and one on the back. The main rule is found in NRS 482.275(1), which states that \u201cthe license plate assigned to a motor vehicle must be attached to the front and rear\u201d of the car. This applies to most passenger vehicles registered in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the law also includes exceptions. Some vehicles only need a rear plate if the design of the vehicle does not allow a front plate to be mounted. This is where many drivers get confused.<\/p>
