Nevada Release and Authorization is a legal document that provides permission for an individual or organization to access private and confidential information. It is typically used for background checks, credit checks, and employee screenings. There are three main types of Nevada Release and Authorization: general release, credit release, and employee release. A general release allows an organization to conduct a background check that includes verifying educational history, employment history, and criminal history. A credit release grants an organization the right to access an individual's credit report. An employee release authorizes an employer to conduct an employee screening, such as verifying the individual’s identity, verifying their work eligibility, and conducting drug tests. All three types of Nevada Release and Authorization must be signed by the individual giving permission.
