Las Vegas, NV
With regards to driver’s license as well as vehicle’s registration, military families have special rules that apply to them . They are permitted normally to keep their driver’s license and vehicle registration in the state which they declare as their permanent address but state laws can vary.
According to the Nevada DMV students, active duty military personnel, (including their accompanying family members) residing temporarily in Nevada are not required to register their cars or get a driver license as long as they are not employed in NV.
You also should tell your insurance broker in Las Vegas that you are in the military and stationed in another state. Each state has different requirements regarding the minimum levels of coverage required. Your insurance broker will be able to tell you if your car insurance policy is adequate or if any changes need to be made.
