Why We Built This Site
Public access in Nevada depends on choosing the right custodian. The Nevada Criminal History Repository compiles information reported by criminal-justice agencies, but it does not replace an originating arrest report or trial-court file. The Nevada Department of Corrections tracks people in state custody, while the Nevada Public Sex Offender Registry publishes the records authorized for community notification. County sheriffs, local police departments, jails, and trial courts create much of the underlying material. Nevada Criminal History organizes the statewide routes and connects readers with the county directory when the requested file remains local.
What You Will Find Here
- County access: the directory of all 17 Nevada county equivalents and their local record routes
- State system details: the repository, corrections locator, registry, and Nevada court channels, with clear coverage limits
- Official record checks: fingerprint-based self-review through the Nevada Criminal History Repository
- Record access guides: ways to find and read Nevada criminal court case records
- Record sealing: Nevada's process for restricting eligible records and the courts that receive petitions
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Nevada court, sheriff's office, police department, or state agency. There are firm limits on the help available:
- We cannot issue certified court documents, rap sheets, or other official records
- We cannot give legal advice about a Nevada charge, case, or sealing petition
- We cannot submit record requests, sealing petitions, or other forms for a visitor
- We cannot retrieve a criminal record or perform an official background check
- We cannot promise that every listed address, fee, or phone number remains current
Only the Nevada Criminal History Repository, an issuing court, or the county office that created a record can supply its official copy. Nevada Criminal History can identify the likely custodian, but the record must come from that government office.
Search Partners
Third-party providers operate search boxes that appear on some pages. They control their own results, prices, and services. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee for Nevada Criminal History, which supports free visitor access. Nevada Criminal History does not set partner charges or determine what their searches return.
