Juvenile Services

The Department of Juvenile Services, upon completion of a Release of Juvenile Legal History form, can only provide the legal history to the requesting person, if they are 18 years or older.  If the requestor is under the age of 18 the youth's parents or legal guardians need to complete the form.  Forms are available at Jan Evans Juvenile Justice Center.  All forms must be notarized prior to or at time of submission (free notary services are available at Juvenile Services).  Please allow up to two weeks to process these requests.

If you need more detailed juvenile records, such as police reports you will need to contact the Self Help Center at washoecourts.com to request a court order for release of this information.

Public records requests may be made by phone, mail, in person, or by filling out this online form. 

Due to confidentiality, police reports cannot be released by this Department. You may, however, contact the arresting agency to request a copy.

Most juvenile records are confidential and cannot be accessed by others. Juvenile records can be sealed under certain circumstances. Juvenile records are typically sealed when the juvenile reaches the age of 18 except in special limited circumstances pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 62H.140 – 62H.170.
