Child Care Licensing Backgrounds
Child Care Licensing (CCL) requires background checks to be completed by every employee, resident, and/or volunteer of a child care facility at least every five years to ensure the safety and well-being of children served in licensed child care facilities, per NRS 432A.175. Background checks will include a local criminal check, a local/national sex offender registry check, and a local/national child abuse and neglect check. If a background applicant has not resided in the State of Nevada in the last five years, a background check is required from the state the applicant is coming from.
Nevada does not participate in the National Fingerprint File program. Nevada is a Privacy Compact State.
For any questions regarding background investigations, contact the Background Unit at dpbhcclbackgrounds@health.nv.gov or call 702-486-3822 (Las Vegas) or 775-684-4464 (Carson City).
