Nevada Criminal History is a private reference resource, not a records office. Requests for official Nevada criminal records must go to the government agency that holds the requested file. Depending on the record, that may be the Nevada Criminal History Repository, the Nevada Department of Corrections, the Nevada Public Sex Offender Registry, a trial court, or an agency in one of Nevada's 17 county equivalents. The routes below identify the appropriate starting point.

This Is Not a Government Office. Nevada Criminal History cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official background check, correct or remove a record, or receive a record-sealing petition. Contact the government custodian responsible for the file.

Need an Official Record?

Use the Nevada custodian that matches the record type:

  • Personal Nevada criminal history and rap sheets: use the fingerprint-based request process through the Nevada Criminal History Repository
  • Trial-court case files: review Nevada criminal court case records and contact the clerk for the court that handled the case
  • State-prison status: search the Nevada Department of Corrections inmate locator
  • Sex offender information: use the Nevada Public Sex Offender Registry / Community Notification Website
  • Police and incident reports: request the file from the Nevada agency that created it
  • Local bookings, jail rosters, and record-sealing filings: locate the proper local agency or court through the county directory

Nevada does not provide one statewide public counter for all record types. The Nevada Criminal History Repository handles fingerprint-verified personal history, while local courts and agencies remain the custodians of their own case, arrest, booking, and report files.
