Delete Pages From Legal Nevada Expungement Forms For Free

A misdemeanor conviction will remain on your permanent criminal record forever unless you take action to have it sealed. The waiting period required depends on the type of misdemeanor conviction you received. The waiting period ranges from one to seven years after a case closes.

Nevada law does not support expungement of records. Sealing accomplishes much the same process and the effect is the same in regard to employer and other types of background checks. The sealing of a record makes the record unfindable except in certain well-defined instances and only to a very limited number of people.

File your petition with the appropriate court. You can ask to seal your entire criminal history by filing one petition in the district court having jurisdiction over the criminal charges.
