Form VP-015 example filled out, example: a peace officer completes the certificate
A peace officer completes form VP-015 for a car. The car is a gas passenger car with 123456 miles, inspected away from a DMV Inspection Station. The picture shows the form, and its names and figures are sample values. The car is not an LSV, so Federal Certification Safety Label and Emissions Label is marked No. The car is a 2002 model, over 20 years old, so box 3 of WARNING ODOMETER DISCREPANCY (The mileage stated is in excess of its mechanical limits) is marked. The car is not a trailer, so living quarters is marked No, and Trailer Length, Motorhome Length and Number of Axles stay empty. The car runs on gas, so REMARKS stays empty. The officer works for an enforcement agency, so Nevada Authorized Agency stays empty.
