Nevada Public Records at a Glance
Nevada is two systems wearing one flag: Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno) run sophisticated portals of their own, while the rural counties stay small and personal. There is no unified statewide docket — the Nevada court records page routes you to the right district court search. Criminal history sits with the Department of Public Safety and is consent-based; public options are covered on the criminal records page. Birth and death certificates come from the Office of Vital Records. County recorders hold deeds — Clark County's free records search is one of the busiest local-government sites in the country, a byproduct of Las Vegas's transaction volume. 123 official databases below.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are public records organized in Nevada?▼
Nevada keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.
Where do I start a Nevada court-case search?▼
For statewide trial-court information, start at the Nevada Judiciary: nvcourts.gov. Nevada federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.
How do I get an official Nevada background check?▼
Nevada's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the Nevada Records, Communications & Compliance Division (RCCD) at www.rccd.nv.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.
Where do I obtain Nevada birth, death, or marriage certificates?▼
Certified Nevada vital records are issued by the Official Nevada Vital Records at dpbh.nv.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.
What does it cost to access Nevada public records?▼
Most online record indexes in Nevada are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the Nevada Judiciary (courts), the Official Nevada Vital Records (vital records), the Official Nevada Voter Records (elections), and the Official Nevada Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
