Public Records Requests

Information Transparency

The State of Nevada strives to provide transparency to the public through its Open Government website, which allows greater public access to the state’s budget, checkbook, taxation, and economic reports.

The Department of Administration also strives for government transparency by adhering to the requirements of Nevada Public Records Law NRS Chapter 239, and by posting many of its documents on the department’s website at www.admin.nv.gov and on its document’s webpage at http://admin.nv.gov/Documents/.

Public Records Requests

To submit a public records request:

  • Please submit the request in writing; you may use the Nevada Public Records Request Form
  • Send the request to the attention of the Department's public information officer
  • You can submit your request any of the following ways:
    • Email to deptadmin@admin.nv.gov
    • Mail to the Department of Administration, 515 E. Musser St., Carson City NV 89701
Please note:
  • Requests should be as specific as possible and include the requester’s contact information
  • The Department will respond to the request within five business days
  • If the request cannot be fulfilled within five business days, the Department will provide written notice of that fact, let the requester know the earliest date and time it reasonably believes the record will be available, and may work with the requester to focus the request so the Department can respond as expeditiously as possible

Fees for Public Records

Per NRS 239.052, a government entity is permitted to charge a fee for the actual cost incurred in the provision of a public record. This includes, without limitation, the cost of ink, toner, paper, media, and postage.  

Pursuant to NRS 239.052(2), the Department of Administration chooses to waive this fee except for the following exceptions:

  • Hard copy requests of 50 or more single pages
  • Postage costs
  • The media used to provide electronic records (e.g., thumb drive, discs)

The Department will inform the requester of any fees prior to responding to the request.

Fees List :

Black and white copies, up to 8.5” x 11”: $0.05 per page
Color, up to 8.5” x 11”: $0.50 per page
Compact Disc/DVD/Thumb Drive: $5.00 per device
