Online Criminal Records Search Nevada State

Your State of Nevada criminal background search will reveal all sorts of things — such as felonies, misdemeanors, and pending charges against you.

Your county, state, and federal criminal background checks show different levels of information depending on the specific charge. For example, a county background check (e.g., Clark County) would provide information from the county courthouse, including criminal records, arrest records, court records, and any other details involving the county’s criminal justice system.

A Nevada State background check typically includes the same information, only from across multiple counties within that state. A state criminal background check may include driving records, employment history, and education verification.

Your national and federal criminal background checks will be more thorough. A national criminal background check covers multiple states/jurisdictions, whereas a federal background search refers to background checks that federal agencies, such as the FBI, conduct. These checks will also include information from various sources — including state and county records and pull from the federal database.

Crimes committed at the federal level are more severe (drug distribution, unlawful gun possession, arson). You should always ask your future employer/volunteer network/ which check level they require. Employers, organizations, and institutions usually require a state or federal-level criminal background check.

Each company, organization, and institution will have its own requirements for which type of Nevada criminal background check they require. Because of this, we recommend speaking with your future employer/volunteer network to determine their requirements for your criminal record search before purchasing.

Your address is important when requesting your criminal background check. Your address (past/present) will pull from multiple databases within Nevada to align with your identity. The most common criminal background check is based on your last seven years of address history. From there, it will scan all your listed jurisdictions. You should note that some states can’t disclose criminal records if they’re older than seven years.
