The offender’s name under which he/she was convicted under, his/her department number, crime(s) committed, county in which the crime(s) were committed, any pending court action of record, and Parole Board actions are some of the information that could possibly be released to individuals. Requesting for the release of this information can be a pain though. A lot of effort is necessary, hence why the department who handles Nevada’s criminal records only encourages those who have an important use for it. You will also have to provide your fingerprint information if you wish to request criminal information. As we’ve stated, they are pretty strict with disclosing criminal records to the public. So with the fingerprints, fill out form DPS-006 and send in a check or a money order for $21 to the Department of Public Safety Records Bureau in Carson City. At this time, Nevada still hasn’t established an online database; but despite that, you can rely on the comprehensive information available in their criminal records center.
