How Nevada handles it

  • Carson City is a consolidated municipality treated as a county: its Clerk is ex officio Recorder (Clerk-Recorder holds both deeds and clerk records), and with Storey County it forms the First Judicial District.1
  • Marriage certificate custodian differs by county: in Clark County (population 700,000+, ordinance under NRS 246.100) certificates are filed with and copied by the County Clerk; elsewhere they are recorded by the County Recorder (e.g. Washoe).1

Official warnings

  • Nevada Attorney General alert (Aug 26, 2009, still posted by Clark County Recorder): companies mailing homeowners offers to obtain a copy of their deed (e.g. National Deed Service, $59.50); deeds can be obtained from the county recorder for much less.8
  • Clark County Recorder: companies not affiliated with the Recorder charge far more for copies; the Recorder charges $1.00 per page and $4.00 to certify and never solicits sales of certified copies.2
  • DPS Sex Offender Registry: scam calls to registered offenders demanding fines for non-compliance/warrants; DPS and local law enforcement do not collect money for these.9

Official copies vs look-alike sites

A certified copy comes only from the office that holds the record; reports and "research copies" sold by commercial sites are not issued by any Nevada office. How to tell an official record source from a paid look-alike.
