Sealing or Expunging Juvenile Records in Nevada

All juvenile records are sealed automatically within 60 days after the child turns 18, or within 60 days after juvenile court or agency jurisdiction ends if it continues past 18. For adjudications for sexual assault, battery with intent to commit sexual assault, lewdness with a child, or violent felony-level acts that were not sealed before age 21, the records cannot be sealed until age 30, and then only by petition with no convictions since age 21 (other than minor traffic offenses). Juvenile courts can also expunge records in some cases. Once sealed or expunged, the proceedings are treated as never having occurred and the person may answer inquiries accordingly.
