Nevada issues front and rear plates but front display is optional for vehicles without factory bracket.
The Law at a Glance

Nevada formerly issued flat plates but returned to embossed plates. Display of front plate is technically required but rarely enforced when the vehicle wasn't designed for one.
State-Specific Notes
Nevada is a conditional two-plate state — many drivers display only the rear.

Notable Facts
Nevada formerly issued flat (digitally printed) plates but returned to embossed plates. By state law, two plates are issued, but front display is optional for vehicles that weren't designed for one or lack a factory bracket — a rule rarely enforced for vehicles without front brackets. Nevada is essentially a single-plate state in practice for many drivers.
