What is the difference between record sealing and expungement in Nevada?
Nevada has no true expungement. Record sealing (NRS 179.245) hides your record from most background checks but does not destroy the record. Law enforcement, courts, and certain licensing agencies can still access sealed records. Sealed records may be unsealed in limited circumstances.
What crimes can be sealed in Nevada?
Most crimes can be sealed after waiting periods: dismissals (immediately), misdemeanors (1–2 years), Category E felonies (2 years), Category D (5 years), Category C (5 years), Category B (12 years), Category A (never, with exceptions). DUIs cannot be sealed. Sex crimes involving victims under 18 cannot be sealed.
How does the Nevada record sealing process work?
(1) Request your Nevada criminal history from the Central Repository. (2) File a Petition to Seal Records in the county where the case was heard. (3) Notify the prosecutor. (4) Attend a court hearing. (5) If granted, the judge orders all agencies to seal the records. An attorney handles all steps.
Will a sealed Nevada record show up on a background check?
Most commercial background checks won't show sealed records. However, government agencies, law enforcement, courts, gaming regulators, and some licensing boards can access sealed records. You may legally answer 'no criminal record' on most private employer and housing applications once sealed.
