    Texas is strict, in a way. need utility bills, rent/lease agreement, and sometimes must show a Texas vehicle registration. Google has the answer to that. Many drivers on here have gone through the process when they moved to Texas.

    Nothing I can find that you would even need to own a car.
    Additional Proof of Identity & Nevada Residential Address

    Nevada has three sets of requirements for proof of identity. Most motorists will apply for a Real ID driver's license or a standard Nevada license.

    Those who cannot meet the requirements for a Real ID or standard license may apply for a Driver Authorization Card (DAC), which is not valid for identification.

    [​IMG]
    You must bring all of the following:

    • Proof of Identity AND
    • If you have changed your name, Proof of All Name Change(s) AND
    • Proof of Social Security number AND
    • Proof of your Nevada residential address (two documents) AND
    • Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card (DMV 002):
    English | Spanish | Tagalog

    See Residency and Proof of Identity for details and lists of documents.

    Veterans with an honorable discharge may present their evidence of honorable discharge to have a Veteran designation placed on their license. Visit archives.gov to obtain a copy of a DD-214 or other evidence of honorable discharge. Anyone may elect to become an Organ Donor.

    If you just rent a room from someone, then there's an affidavit you and the person renting the room to you, must sign.

    In Nevada you will need a few things.
    A certified copy of your birth certificate.
    Must be embossed and wet stamped.
    Any documents, like a utility bill with your current address.
    Your current valid driver license and med card and long form.
    A completed license application.
    You may need to take the written for endorsements. It will depend on when your last license was issued.
    Payment. Cash, check or cards. Fees vary based on what your getting.
    Last time the License is mailed to you. Takes about 7 to 10 days. Used to walk in and walk out with it.

    When I changed my license from Montana to Tx all I had to do was show something addressed to me. I didn't have a car in Tx at the time or I probably would have had to show the registration. Everything just transfered over with no additional tests except the hazmat. Had to do the whole haz deal again. Fingerprinting, background check and written test.
     
    spindrift Thanks this.
