How to fill out Nevada VP 268, the Electronic Lienholder Reassignment Affidavit
Moves an electronic lien from one lender to another. You will never fill this in — it is written by lienholders — but it is often the reason your lien release has gone quiet, and knowing it exists is how you ask the right question.
Written against VP 268 (2/2023), issued under NRS 482.545.
February 2023 revision. Read what it does not do: the current electronic title is not changed to show the new lienholder. The reassignment only lets the receiving lender request a printed title, or release the lien, on behalf of the assigning one.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank VP 268 from the dmv.nv.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today, then print our VP 268 guide and keep it beside you while you fill theirs in.
This is the actual VP 268, rendered from the PDF the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
VP-268 as a lender completes it, moving an electronic lien between two servicers. The whole form is grey because none of it is a vehicle owner's to write.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
The lienholder fills this in
Who is swearing it
Printed full legal name and the title or position they hold at the lender.
Watch out: A named person with a job title, not a department. The affidavit is sworn under penalty of NRS 482.545.
2
The lienholder fills this in
Current lienholder
The lender that holds the lien today.
Watch out: For a seller reading this: the name here should match the lienholder printed on your title, or the one your payments went to.
3
The lienholder fills this in
Nevada ELT number and FEIN
How the DMV identifies the electronic lienholder.
Watch out: Worth asking your lender for. It is the number the department actually works from, and quoting it shortens a phone call considerably.
4
The lienholder fills this in
Reassigned lienholder
The lender receiving the authority.
Watch out: If your loan was sold, this is the servicer now writing to you. They are the one who can get you a printed title or a release.
5
The lienholder fills this in
Their ELT number and address
The same identifying set for the receiving lender.
Watch out: Both lenders have to be registered electronic lienholders in Nevada for this route to work at all.
6
The lienholder fills this in
Requested date of reassignment
When it takes effect.
Watch out: This is the date worth asking about. Until it passes, the receiving lender may genuinely not be able to help you, and that is usually the whole explanation for the silence.

What gets this one rejected
•A private owner submitting it. Every line belongs to a lienholder; there is nowhere on it for you.
•Sending it without the supporting documentation. The form requires the paperwork that grants the authority for the reassignment to accompany it.
•Correcting a mistake on the page. The form says plainly that any alteration or erasure requires a new form.
•Leaving a block partly filled. It states that all areas must be completed in full, typed or in ink.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•It is notarised or witnessed by an authorised Nevada DMV representative, the same as the affidavits you do sign.
•The Nevada ELT number is what identifies an electronic lienholder to the DMV. If a lender cannot give you theirs, that is a useful signal about who you are dealing with.
•If your loan is paid and you simply want the lien gone, the route is the lienholder releasing it electronically, or a Lien Release on a printed title — not this.
Every line here was read off VP 268 (2/2023) itself —
the PDF is here — and off the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles pages.
This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ,
theirs governs.
