Sealing A Juvenile Record
NRS 62H.140 — sealed automatically within 60 days after 18, and by petition 3 years after the last adjudication
Automatic at 18. When a child reaches 18 years of age, all records relating to the child are sealed automatically within 60 days. A record of a matter the juvenile court still has jurisdiction over at 18 is sealed automatically within 60 days after that jurisdiction ends.
Before 21, a child, or a probation or parole officer for the child, may petition the juvenile court to seal the records, not earlier than 3 years after the last adjudication and with no charges pending. If in those 3 years there was no felony or misdemeanor of moral turpitude and the child is rehabilitated, the court may seal the records of a child under 18 and shall seal them for one who is 18 or older.
Some serious delinquent acts are limited by a separate section, which this page does not read.
