Bill overview
This bill allows the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the State Registrar of Vital Statistics, and county health officers to record and display diacritical marks (like accents and umlauts) in people’s names on official documents, such as driver’s licenses and birth certificates. It also extends this practice to commercial driver’s licenses. The bill’s effectiveness is tied to the Social Security Administration’s ability to handle these marks or the DMV securing sufficient federal funding.
