Before you file anything, you need your certified criminal history. It's the backbone of every sealing petition – and it's the document that tells you what your record actually says, not what you remember from court years ago.

It depends on the offense and is measured from the date your case fully closed – not the arrest or conviction date. Dismissed charges carry no wait. Most misdemeanors are one year. Gross misdemeanors and Category E felonies are two years. Mid-level felonies are five years. The most serious eligible felonies are ten years. Misdemeanor DUI runs seven years. Confirm your exact closing date before you calculate anything – filing too early gets the petition rejected.

This is the most common reason petitions get rejected in Nevada. People count from the wrong date and file years too early. Pull your final disposition and confirm the exact closing date before you calculate anything.

The longest waiting period for an eligible record in Nevada is ten years – applied to Category A felonies and eligible crimes of violence – measured from the date the case fully closed, not the conviction date.

For employers, landlords, and most licensing boards, yes – a sealed record reads as if the case never happened. Once the court signs the order and the named agencies update their files, routine background checks no longer show it. You can legally answer 'no' on most applications asking about convictions. Law enforcement retains limited access in specific situations, but that access does not extend to the people making hiring and housing decisions.

A past charge doesn't have to be a permanent answer on every application. Nevada record sealing exists for exactly this situation – and once the order is signed, the agencies update their files and the record stops appearing on routine checks.

In Washoe County, the DA reviews each petition and either agrees or objects. If they agree, many cases proceed without a hearing – the judge reviews the file and signs the order. If they object, the case goes before a judge who weighs whether sealing serves the interest of justice. Objections usually turn on the nature of the offense, a pattern of cases, or a technical problem with the petition. A complete file with the correct waiting period satisfied and proper service done gives the DA very little to argue.

The waiting period only counts the time before you file. Once you qualify, the record does not get cleaner by waiting longer. The question is whether the petition is filed correctly the first time.

If you were arrested or questioned in Fernley, the next minutes matter. Before you explain, apologize, or “clear things up,” take these steps:

✅ Say this once: “I want a lawyer.” Then stop talking.
✅ Do not consent to searches of your phone, car, or home.
✅ Do not text, call, or message the accuser or witnesses.
✅ Write down what happened while it is fresh: times, places, names.
✅ Keep paperwork: citation, bail papers, court date, conditions.
