Run county and statewide court portals first. Civil, criminal, family, and lower-court systems are often separate, so this is where most missed records happen.
Nevada Supreme Court case search by party name or case number. Covers all appeals and Supreme Court decisions. Docket entries and case documents available.
Useful for confirming whether someone has had an appeal or Supreme Court case in Nevada — adds context to trial court findings from Clark or Washoe county sources.
Official Nevada Department of Public Safety sex offender registry. Search by name, address/radius, or ZIP code. Covers Tier 2 and Tier 3 offenders and Tier 1 offenders with child victims; Tier 1 offenders with adult-only victims are not publicly listed. Note: HTTP-only — the www subdomain has a TLS certificate error as of May 2026; load in browser directly. DPS contact: (775) 684-6262.
Statewide searchable database of Nevada state prison inmates currently under NDOC jurisdiction. Name-based search by full name or offender ID. Shows current facility, sentence info, and custody status.
For someone sentenced to state prison (over one year), this is where they'll appear. For pretrial detainees in county jail, check the Clark County Detention Center or Washoe County Detention Facility instead.
