Clark County, Nevada · Las Vegas jail, booking, warrant and court guide
Find a Las Vegas-Area Arrest and Verify the Court Outcome
Start with the correct detention facility, confirm the inmate ID and booking charges, then follow the case into Justice, District or Municipal Court.
This guide also covers reports, warrants, bail, visits, mail, calls, deposits, appointed counsel, victim help, Nevada criminal history and record sealing.

COURT DISPOSITION
OUTCOME FOUND
IDENTITY + CASE VERIFIED
Booking does not mean conviction. CCDC warns that displayed charges can change because of plea negotiations, hearings or trial. Confirm the filed charge and final court disposition.
Current CCDC custody
Search by surname, inmate ID or Justice Court case.
Four jail systems
CCDC, Las Vegas City, North Las Vegas and Henderson.
Justice Court case
Use Las Vegas Township Records Inquiry.
Felony outcome
Use the Eighth Judicial District Court Portal.

Start with the correct record
Which Clark County office has the answer?
DETENTION FACILITY
Is the person in custody?
Find the inmate ID, booking charges, bail, holds and current custody status.
Search the correct jail before calling a court.
ARRESTING AGENCY
What did officers report?
Request the incident report, arrest report, probable-cause information and releasable supplements.
The jail may not own the police report.
CRIMINAL COURT
What happened to the charge?
Find filed offenses, hearings, warrant events, dismissal, plea, judgment and sentence.
Choose Justice, District or Municipal Court.
NEVADA REPOSITORY
What appears statewide?
Review fingerprint-supported Nevada arrests and dispositions maintained by the state repository.
Use for personal review, corrections and sealing.
Best workflow: Identify the jail, save the inmate and case identifiers, determine the arresting agency, search the correct court and obtain the final disposition.
Do not search only one jail
Choose the correct Las Vegas-area detention facility
A Las Vegas mailing address does not prove the person is at CCDC. The arrest location, city boundary, alleged offense and court jurisdiction can route the person to a different jail.
Official CCDC workflow
How to search a Clark County Detention Center inmate
Open the official in-custody search
Use the Clark County redrock search rather than a paid people-search service.
Open CCDC In-Custody Search
Use only one search field
Search by inmate name, inmate ID or Justice Court case number—not all fields together.
Enter at least two surname letters
The system requires at least two letters. Using more letters narrows the matches.
Open every plausible match
A similar name alone is not enough to identify the correct person.
Save the inmate ID
The ID is needed for money, mail, visits, telephone accounts and bail questions.
Compare birth date and booking date
Separate same-name people and multiple custody events.
Read every charge and case line
One booking can include Justice Court, District Court, municipal, out-of-state or hold information.
Record every bail amount and hold
Bail on one charge does not clear another case or detainer.
Follow the case number into court
Use the Justice Court or District Court search to verify the filed charge.
Call for the newest custody information
The website updates during the day, but CCDC directs users to
702-671-3900 for the most current information.
People younger than 18 and inmates in protective custody are not displayed. John or Jane Doe inmates cannot post bail until properly identified through the CCDC fingerprint process.

Identity safeguard
Verify the person before relying on an arrest result
Full first and last name match
Middle name, alias or suffix is consistent
Date of birth or age matches
Inmate ID matches another official record
Booking date matches the known arrest
Arresting agency matches the incident location
Court case follows the same arrest
Physical descriptors are reasonably consistent
Minimum identity rule: Match at least two independent identifiers before sending money, publishing an allegation or treating a result as belonging to a specific person.
No-result troubleshooting
Why an inmate may not appear in the CCDC search
Booking is still underway
Identification, fingerprints, medical screening and database entry can delay publication.
The person is at another local jail
Check Las Vegas City, North Las Vegas and Henderson detention systems.
The name is recorded differently
Try the surname alone, former name, hyphen variation, suffix or alternate spelling.
The person was released
CCDC’s search contains people currently in custody, not a complete historical arrest index.
The person is under protective custody
Protective-custody inmates are not displayed publicly.
The person is younger than 18
Juvenile detainees do not appear in the public CCDC search.
The person was transferred
Check Nevada Department of Corrections, federal custody or another county.
The person is listed as John or Jane Doe
CCDC must complete identification before normal bail processing.

Nevada criminal-history review
Obtain and inspect your fingerprint-supported state record
An LVMPD SCOPE printout is local and does not necessarily contain every Henderson or North Las Vegas arrest. A Nevada Repository record is the statewide personal-history source.
LVMPD SCOPE
- Current fee: $13, effective July 1, 2026.
- Covers history maintained or entered by LVMPD.
- May not include Henderson or North Las Vegas entries.
- Useful for local review and record-sealing preparation.
Nevada Repository record
- Fingerprint-supported Nevada criminal history.
- Includes supported Nevada arrests and dispositions.
- Does not include other states or FBI history.
- Required for current Clark County DA sealing review.
Choose electronic or manual submission
Electronic submission is available from inside Nevada; out-of-state requests use the manual route.
Complete the required identity information
Follow the current instructions exactly.
Obtain fingerprints when required
LVMPD currently lists $20 for the first fingerprint card and $2 for each additional card.
Pay the current repository fee
Check the live form because state fees can change.
Review every arrest and disposition
Compare the response with Justice, District and Municipal Court records.
The Nevada Repository generally processes a complete request within 30 calendar days, plus mailing and delivery time for manual submissions.

Record correction
Correct inaccurate Clark County or Nevada information
Identify which system is wrong
Compare the jail result, police report, Justice Court, District Court and Nevada Repository record.
Save the incorrect result
Record the URL, date, inmate ID, event number, case number and disputed field.
Obtain controlling proof
Use a certified dismissal, judgment, amended order or corrected agency report.
Correct police or booking data through the originating agency
LVMPD, Henderson Police or North Las Vegas Police may need to update its submission.
Correct the court disposition through the Clerk
A wrong or missing judgment must be addressed by the court maintaining the file.
Recheck connected systems
A court correction may not immediately update the jail page or a private screening report.
Correction and sealing are different. Correction fixes information that is factually wrong. Sealing restricts an accurate record that satisfies Nevada eligibility rules.
Nevada record sealing
Restrict an eligible Clark County arrest or conviction
Nevada uses record sealing, not ordinary expungement. A sealed record is removed from general information sources but is not destroyed and may remain available for legally authorized purposes.
Cases that require different routes
Justice or District Court cases
Use the Clark County District Attorney stipulation process and the correct Justice or District Court petition.
Municipal Court cases
Submit through the applicable city attorney and Municipal Court. The County DA cannot stipulate to municipal cases.
Multiple Clark County courts
District Court can be used to address eligible Justice and District Court charges throughout Clark County.
Prepare these records first
Current verified Nevada criminal-history report
Optional LVMPD SCOPE for local arrest details
Every arrest date and arresting agency
Every charge and final disposition
Court and agency case numbers
Judgment and completion documents when applicable
Complete list of agencies holding the record
Correct petition, affidavit and proposed order
Obtain the current Nevada criminal-history report
Clark County DA requires a current verified Repository report with the petition.
Collect every missing disposition
Obtain certified documentation when the criminal history does not show the final result.
Check eligibility and waiting periods
Waiting periods vary by offense. Certain sexual offenses and crimes against children cannot be sealed.
Resolve active cases and warrants
Clark County lists pending matters and warrants as possible reasons for denial.
Select the correct court route
Municipal charges use the city process; Justice and District Court charges use the county process.
Prepare the petition and proposed order
List each arrest date, agency, charge, disposition and known record custodian.
Check status after three to four weeks
The DA instructs petitioners to call
702-671-2765 when no response has been received.
File with the correct court after prosecutor review
Ask the Clerk about the current filing fee and accepted payment.
Obtain certified copies of the signed order
Order enough copies for every agency named in the order and one permanent copy.
Serve every named agency
Unless the court orders otherwise, the petitioner is responsible for delivering certified orders.
Verify compliance
Recheck the jail, courts, LVMPD, Nevada Repository and private background reports.
Nevada State Police states that sealing can take approximately two to four months depending on the accuracy of the court order. Repository compliance after receiving an order can take longer, so keep certified copies and proof of service.
A Nevada sealing order does not guarantee removal from every news article, out-of-state system or private archive. Dispute inaccurate private records separately.

Title-related questions
Clark County arrest-record questions answered
How do I search a CCDC inmate?
Use the official redrock in-custody search. Enter at least two surname letters, the inmate ID or the Justice Court case number.
Why is the person not in the CCDC search?
The person may be processing, released, transferred, under 18, in protective custody or held at the Las Vegas City, North Las Vegas or Henderson jail.
How do I find the final criminal charge?
Search the Justice Court case first and then check District Court when the felony or gross-misdemeanor matter was transferred or indicted.
Where do I search a Las Vegas Municipal Court case?
Use the City of Las Vegas Municipal Court defendant-history and case-docket search, not the county Justice Court search.
How much is an LVMPD incident report?
The listed nonrefundable fee is $13, effective July 1, 2026.
How much is a CCDC remote visit?
The current price is $0.19 per minute or $4.75 for a 25-minute visit. CCDC lobby visits remain free.
What is the CCDC personal-mail address?
Use the inmate name and ID at Clark County Detention Center, P.O. Box 43059, Las Vegas, Nevada 89116.
What TouchPay facility number does CCDC use?

Does LVMPD SCOPE include every Clark County arrest?
No. It generally covers records maintained or entered by LVMPD and may not include Henderson or North Las Vegas history.
Does Nevada expunge arrest records?
Nevada generally seals eligible criminal records rather than destroying them through expungement.
