Nevada Mugshots and Arrest Records

Arrest records and booking photos in Nevada are created by the county sheriff or the police department that makes the arrest, and the case that follows is kept by the court. This page lists the official Nevada sources we have verified, explains the booking photo law we have on file for the state, and works as a Nevada mugshot finder and booking photo search: enter a name to search arrest mugshots and booking records across every county in Nevada, each with its agency and date.

How arrest and booking records are kept in Nevada

State archives building with stone columns on a sunny day

A person arrested in Nevada is booked into a local jail, where the agency records the name, the charges and the booking date and takes a booking photo. The clerk of court opens a case when a prosecutor files charges. People sentenced to prison are recorded by the state corrections department. Each of these agencies publishes its own records, which is why a search starts with the county.

An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.

People in a county jail are on the roster of that county. People sentenced to state prison are in the offender search of the state corrections department, linked in the sources table above.

Is there a Nevada mugshot database?

There is no single official Nevada mugshot database. Booking photos are kept by each county sheriff or jail that made the booking, and state law decides which ones are released. MugshotLookup searches the statewide sources and every county in Nevada at once and names the agency behind each record.
