In Nevada, the ability to petition a court to seal records of an arrest, criminal conviction, acquittal, or dismissal is controlled by Nevada Revised Statute Chapter 179.241-179.301.

We can assist with the following Petitions/Forms:

• Petition requesting records from:
  • Repository Center (Nevada)
  • Court(s),
  • Sheriff or arrest agency, and
• Petition to Seal Record
• Order to Seal Record
• Stipulation (if applicable)
• Declaration
• Notice of Entry of Order
• Certificate of Service

Requirements In order to seal your criminal record, you must be eligible. To be eligible, you must satisfy the required waiting periods listed below. The eligibility timeline begins at the close of your case. This could mean the date the last fine was paid, the date you were released from parole or probation, the date you were released from prison, or the date you finished your court requirements. You must make sure every charge and conviction on your record is eligible to be sealed.
