Nevada Licensing Requirements

What could be more frustrating than finding that “diamond in the rough” vehicle – and then realizing it requires licenses you don’t have? At CrashedToys, we do our best to give you licensing information up front. So when it comes time to bid and buy, you’re ready to dominate the auction.

Every state has unique licensing requirements, depending on the type of buyer and the type of vehicle (clean titled or salvage). Therefore, it’s essential to read up on these stipulations before attempting to bid on anything found on CrashedToys.com.

In Nevada, dealers and dismantlers will need to provide CrashedToys an operational license and a sales tax license for the same physical address, as well as sales tax exemption forms. Business Identification Cards, known simply as BID Cards, are required for in-state Members to bid in Nevada. These can be obtained from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.

Operational licenses include, but aren’t limited to, dealer, dismantler, rebuilder and business licenses, all of which should be acquired from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Your local city or county office is where you can get a general business license or license certificate.

A sales tax permit, also issued by the Nevada Department of Taxation, is needed as well.

These links will provide the forms and information you need to get started with licensing and BID Cards:

Additionally, please complete the following forms and fax them back to CrashedToys’s Licensing Department at (800) 787-8650. These documents will be processed within one to two business days of receipt.

General businesses, exporters and private individuals buying in Nevada will need to go through a Broker for all clean titled and salvage items. Boats, jet skis and snowmobiles may be purchased directly without the assistance of a Broker.
