Did You Know? Nevada’s Criminal History Repository Covers Nevada Only — Not Federal or Out-of-State Records

The Nevada Central Repository provides personal criminal history record information for the State of Nevada only. It cannot provide information about arrests or convictions in other states or at the federal level. The RCCD states this limitation explicitly.

Nevada also has a record-sealing process. Sealing prohibits access to the sealed criminal record information except for Repository employees for record management purposes and for certain authorized inquiries. Sealed records will not appear in standard criminal history searches.

About Nevada Criminal Records: Criminal history record information is maintained by the state central repository. Court records may provide additional case-level detail. For official background checks, contact the state criminal history agency listed above. Sex offender registries are updated by local law enforcement and maintained at the state level.
