Nevada Screening Regulations
Nevada has enacted fair chance hiring legislation that prohibits employers from asking about criminal history on initial job applications and from considering criminal history until after a conditional offer of employment has been made. This applies to both public and private employers. Nevada also restricts the use of credit reports in employment decisions for most positions.
Vertical Identity ensures all background checks are conducted in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and applicable Nevada state laws.

Nevada background checks start at $39. Volume pricing is available for employers with ongoing screening needs. Call (602) 899-3611 or contact us online for a quote.
Questions we hear daily
Does Nevada have a ban-the-box law for private employers?
Nevada does not have a statewide ban-the-box law for private employers, but Las Vegas, Reno, and several other Nevada employers in regulated industries (gaming, hospitality, security) have additional licensing-board background check requirements. Private Nevada employers should follow FCRA disclosure and consent rules and consider individualized assessment of any criminal record.
How long does a Nevada background check take?
Most Nevada background checks return in 2 to 5 business days. Nevada Department of Public Safety criminal records take 1 to 3 business days, county criminal searches take 1 to 3 business days, and gaming or other licensure checks involving fingerprints can take 5 to 10 business days.
Does Vertical Identity handle Nevada gaming and security board screening?
Yes. Nevada gaming employees registered with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and security guards licensed under the Private Investigator Licensing Board both have specific background screening requirements. We coordinate state-required fingerprint submissions and licensing-board checks alongside standard pre-employment screening.
What counties does Vertical Identity search for Nevada criminal history?
We search all 17 Nevada counties at the district and justice court levels, plus a Nevada DPS statewide check and a national criminal database. Coverage includes Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Sparks, North Las Vegas, Paradise, Carson City, and every rural Nevada jurisdiction.
How much does a Nevada background check cost?
Nevada background check packages start at $39. Gaming and other licensing-board checks are priced separately based on state agency fees. Add drug testing ($69 DOT, $59 BAT), MVR, and verification add-ons as needed. Call (602) 899-3611 for a quote.
