Although the rules have changed for record sealing to make the process easier, there are still limitations on who can get their record sealed. For example, if you were convicted of a sex crime, a felony DUI, or a crime against a child, your record is ineligible to be sealed or expunged under any circumstances.
However, for most other offenses, you can petition to have your record sealed at the end of the waiting period. The waiting period differs based on the offense, but thanks to the changes in Nevada law, it is now much shorter for most individuals who are hoping to clear their names by sealing their records.
If your case was dismissed with prejudice so it cannot be refiled or if you were acquitted, you can also petition to have your record sealed immediately – there is no waiting period.
