After a Nevada record sealing order is entered under NRS 179.275, all records of the arrest, charge, and conviction are sealed from public view. You may legally respond 'No' on applications asking whether you have been arrested or convicted of the sealed offense. The sealing applies to court records, police records, and Nevada criminal history repositories. Sealed records may still be accessed by certain law enforcement agencies and in connection with specific licensing matters. A Anthem record sealing attorney will explain any remaining limitations.
The Clark County record sealing process under NRS 179.245 typically takes 3–6 months from filing to final order. The process includes: obtaining a current Nevada criminal history from the Nevada Records and Technology Division, filing the petition in the appropriate court, a mandatory 30-day objection period for prosecutors, court review, and the judge signing the sealing order. A Anthem record sealing attorney handles every step of this process — many clients are unaware of all the courts and agencies that must receive the order.
