The owner of a vehicle registration business in Las Vegas has been apprehended by Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) investigators. Andre Alonzo Chambers, 44, from North Las Vegas, was arrested on December 16, 2021, following a bench warrant issued by the Las Vegas Justice Court. The arrest was carried out with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Chambers owns DMV ASAP of Las Vegas, a licensed document preparation service that processes vehicle registrations and title transfers for customers. A DMV audit revealed suspicious activities involving the use of Limited Power of Attorney forms by DMV ASAP.
Investigations indicated that Chambers allegedly forged notary signatures to expedite out-of-state title transfers without his customers’ knowledge. Compliance Enforcement Division Chief J.D. Decker stated, “The integrity of transactions conducted on behalf of customers is paramount, whether they are processed internally by DMV or by those advertising services for hire.”
Decker emphasized that regular audits ensure third-party services operate legally and protect consumers from fraud. Third-party document preparation services in Nevada must be licensed to perform certain transactions for clients preferring not to deal directly with the DMV.
Chambers faces five counts of forgery, categorized as a D Felony in Nevada. If convicted, potential penalties include one to four years in prison per charge, fines up to $5,000, and restitution.
