The Difference: **Sealing** vs. **Expungement** Services in Nevada

In the state, the legal term for removing past arrests and convictions from public view is **record sealing**, not *expungement*. While many people search for ‘expungement services,’ it’s crucial to understand the state-specific laws. When we achieve this outcome, your past legal issues are legally hidden from the public, including most employers and landlords running background checks. This procedure applies to everything from a dismissed case to eligible felony records. The complexity lies in meeting the waiting periods based on the offense. Our services specialize in navigating these requirements to determine your true eligibility and ensure your Petition to Seal is processed correctly the first time. If there are errors or missing records, your petition could be delayed or denied.

Starting your journey to a **clean slate** is easier than you think. Our team guides you through the necessary steps to retrieve your criminal history and file your petition. The total processing time after we receive all documents is typically:

Estimated Timeline: **1-2 months** (Fast document processing **once all records are received**).

Step 1: Secure Your Official Criminal History Reports and Confirm **Waiting Period**

The foundation of every successful sealing case in **Nevada** is accurate documentation. To begin, you must retrieve your official criminal history reports, which require **F**ingerprints, **F**orms, and **F**ees. We need two separate reports: the State **Nevada Criminal History Repository (CHR)** report and the local SCOPE report. These documents allow us to verify all charges, dismissal dates, and conviction statuses, which are critical for determining if you meet the statutory waiting periods for relief under state law, whether it’s for a dismissed case or an eligible felony conviction.

Requirement 1: Nevada CHR – The State Record
  • Nevada Criminal History Repository (CHR) Report. This covers all statewide data.
  • You must submit a new, original **FD-258 fingerprint card** to the Department of Public Safety (DPS).
  • The mandatory state processing fee is **$27.00** (must be a Money Order).
  • Fill out the **CHR Request form (DPS-006)**.
Requirement: Fingerprints & Money Order 1: $27
Requirement 2: Local SCOPE – The Local Arrest Data
  • Local SCOPE Report: Retrieves your local arrest history, typically from the Metropolitan Police Department in the Las Vegas area.
  • A separate processing fee of **$13.00** is required.
Payment: $13 to LVMPD
