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/.

Fees for Public Records

  • 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 requestor of any fees prior to responding to the request.

The State Library Archives and Public Records provides their own fee schedule and estimate 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
