Nevada license plates are no longer stamped or embossed. They do not have raised lettering. The DMV has transitioned to digitized license plate manufacturing that is more efficient and costs less than older methods.

Current plate holders are not required to surrender these plates. The original plate holder may use them as long as they are registered to a motor vehicle continuously. This includes transfers to another vehicle owned by the same person.
Standard Numbering - If your vehicle is currently
registered in Nevada, bring the old plates to a DMV
Full Service Office or County Assessor
which offers vehicle registration services. If you wish to keep the old
plates, you must bring the rear plate and surrender the decal in person.
If you choose to keep the same expiration date,
we will issue your new plates with a new registration slip and decal. No
emissions inspection or registration renewal is required. A $5 substitute
plate fee will apply in addition to the specialty plate fees.
You have the option of renewing your vehicle
registration for a full year. You will need to complete an emissions
inspection if required and if the last test was completed more than 90 days
ago. Your expiration date will change if the current expiration date is more
than 35 days away. Credit will be given for the unused portion of your current
Nevada registration.
