What Does Record Sealing Cost in Nevada?
We charge a single flat fee that covers the entire sealing process — filing, SCOPE, DPS, postage, copying, and attorney time. No additional charges for multiple records or court appearances.
Record sealing in Nevada involves a fixed sequence of steps — eligibility review, paperwork preparation, prosecutorial sign-off, court filing, and distribution of the signed order to every agency holding a copy of your record. Because the steps are repeatable and the variables are knowable at the outset, we charge a single flat fee that covers the entire process from start to finish.
That fee includes filing costs, the SCOPE report, the DPS cashier's check, postage, copying, and all attorney time — including any court appearance if the judge sets a hearing. There is no additional charge for multiple records or multiple courts. One payment, complete service.
The value in having counsel handle this is not in the paperwork itself — the forms are publicly available. It is in accuracy, sequencing, and follow-through. One error in the petition returns the entire matter to the beginning. A denied petition carries a two-year lockout and Nevada limits petitioners to two attempts total.
What you need to know
No surprise costs
Filing fees, SCOPE, DPS, postage, and copying are all included. The number you see is the number you pay.
Multiple records, same fee
If your history spans multiple courts or agencies, there is no added charge. We handle the consolidated approach statewide.
Court appearances included
If the judge sets a hearing, your attorney attends at no additional cost. Most sealings complete in four to six months without a hearing.
Important caveat
An error costs more than attorney fees
A denied petition triggers a two-year waiting period before you may file again, and Nevada limits you to two attempts total. The cost of getting it wrong the first time — in time, opportunity, and the two-year lockout — consistently exceeds the cost of getting it right.

What it costs to do it yourself

| SCOPE from LVMPD | $10 |
| Criminal history from Nevada DPS | $23.50 |
| Fingerprinting | ~$25 |
| Filing petition and order | $74 |
| Four certified copies of signed order | $12 |
| Postage to mail order to agencies | ~$4 |

These figures cover filing costs only. They do not account for attorney time if an error requires correction, the two-year lockout if the petition is denied, or the cost of a second attempt. Nevada limits petitioners to two attempts total.
