The procedures for sealing Nevada criminal history records vary from county to county. In Nevada, once your record is sealed it is completely removed from our public records.Yes. Even if charges dropped and no conviction it will show on background check and public records. Even acquittals appear. If there is a conviction, the next step is sentencing, possibly an appeal, and then a petition to seal the record. If you were arrested but not convicted, you might still have a record. Sealing these records can clear your name. The short answer is that Nevada law allows employers to check your criminal records for convictions, but not arrests. Petitioner should follow the requirements listed on the District Attorney's website to ensure the documents are filled out correctly. Have you turned your life around but are reminded of it when you fill out applications?
