Applicable laws

What protects you in Nevada

Nevada has one of the stronger frameworks west of Texas. The lead lever is NRS 289.025: home address and photograph of peace officers — active and retired — are automatically confidential in records held by law enforcement agencies. That's automatic, not an election. Spouses, domestic partners, and minor children are covered. The list of covered persons is broad: peace officers, judges, court clerks, registrars, prosecutors, public defenders, certain code-enforcement and AG staff, healthcare workers supporting law enforcement, and reproductive-health providers.

For records outside the agency — the Secretary of State, county clerks, county assessors — Nevada requires a court order based on a sworn affidavit. The bar is real but reachable. Once you have the order, the Request for Confidentiality Form locks the rest of the public-record channels down.

Nevada also has a civil right to sue under NRS 41.1347 — its version of New Jersey's Daniel's Law (the NJ statute that lets covered officers sue data brokers for failing to remove their home address). If someone publishes your personal information with intent to harm or to promote a crime against you, you can sue for damages, attorneys' fees, and injunctive relief. It's a back-end remedy, not a removal mandate, but it's a real lever after a doxxing event.

What still leaks

  1. Out-of-state brokers. Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and the rest source from out-of-state aggregators that don't care about Nevada law.
  2. Court records before redaction. Civil filings — divorce decrees, small claims, tax suits — often include your home address. The §289.025 protection doesn't cover what's in a court filing.
  3. Property records before court order. Without the court order under NRS 250.130/250.140, your name and address sit in the publicly searchable assessor record.

Laws that work for you here

  • NRS 289.025 — automatic. Your home address and photograph are confidential in law enforcement agency records.
  • NRS 41.1347 — civil cause of action ("you can sue them yourself") for dissemination of personal information with intent to harm.
  • NRS 250.130 and 250.140 — file a court order with your county assessor to seal your home address from property records. ACP enrollees can do this without a court order.
  • NRS 481.091 — file with the DMV for an alternate address on your driver's license and ID card. Eligibility runs to peace officers, judges, prosecutors, and similar.
  • NRS 293.908 — voter registration confidentiality for covered persons. File with the Secretary of State.
  • Confidential Address Program (NRS 217.462-217.471) — substitute-address program. Officer eligibility outside victim-of-crime circumstances is unclear.

What we sweep that the state doesn't

Nevada's automatic protection at §289.025 is one of the better state-level shields in the country. It still doesn't reach the brokers. We file standard opt-outs across 200+ people-search sites and re-check every two weeks. After a property transaction or court filing, we re-check faster — those events re-list you faster than a routine refresh. Run a free scan to see what's currently exposed.
