The Registration Calendar
NRS 179D.460 and NRS 179D.470 — registration within 48 hours, and a move reported in person within 48 hours
48 hours, in person. An offender or sex offender convicted of a crime against a child or a sexual offense who resides or is present for 48 hours or more in a Nevada county or city registers with the sheriff, the metropolitan police department or the city police department there not later than 48 hours after arriving or establishing a residence.
Registering means appearing personally at the agency's office, giving the information it asks for, including fingerprints and a photograph, and signing and dating the record of registration in front of an officer. A nonresident who is a student or worker in Nevada registers where the person studies or works, within 48 hours of starting.

With a change of address, the sex offender also gives the other information needed to update the record, such as a new name, occupation, employment, volunteer service, driver's license, or a vehicle registered to or frequently driven by the offender.
Which tier a person is in, how long the duty lasts, how often a person appears in person, and the penalty for failing to register are in other sections and are not reproduced here. Applying them to a particular person's record is for a court and a licensed Nevada attorney.
