Sealing your criminal record in Las Vegas can provide a fresh start by limiting public access to past offenses. This process is governed by Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 179.245 through 179.295 and involves several steps and eligibility criteria.
What Is Record Sealing?
Record sealing in Nevada does not erase your criminal record but restricts its accessibility. Once sealed, the record is removed from public databases and cannot be accessed without a court order. This means that, in most cases, you can legally state that you have not been arrested or convicted of the sealed offense.
