Nevada Public Records

To begin, add a public record or view a list of counties, locations and resources for Nevada public records.

The Nevada Open Records Act (NRS Chapter 239) was put into place in 2001. It defines public records in Nevada as "all public books and public records of a governmental entity, the contents of which are not otherwise declared by law to be confidential, must be open at all times during office hours to inspection by any person, and may be fully copied or an abstract or memorandum may be prepared from those public books and public records."

The ORA states that copies of Nevada public records must be made available to the public and that when fees are charged they must not exceed the actual cost of making a copy or photocopy of the document requested. Certain information is deemed confidential and as such is exempt from the Open Records Act. This confidential information is not made available to the public for privacy and security reasons and will not be released except by court order.
