Fingerprint checks for welfare and jobs staff

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada’s Welfare and Supportive Services and Employment, Training and Rehabilitation agencies require fingerprint background checks for employees and contractors. You must show proof of U.S. citizenship or legal right to work. You must give two fingerprint sets and written permission to send them to the state Central Repository for an FBI check and to local police if needed. The agencies check before hire or contract and at least every 5 years after. The Central Repository is the only channel to send prints to the FBI and return reports. Employees on July 1, 2025 must submit by January 1, 2026. Contractors on that date must submit by their next contract renewal. “Appropriate law enforcement” means the local agency where you lived, worked, or went to school in the past 5 years.
