Accidents and Convictions

Information about traffic accidents and convictions become part of your driving record.  Traffic violations that occur in other states are added to your Nevada driving record. Most violations are reported to your insurance company and employers for 3 years. A driver license suspension or revocation will be reported indefinitely if the license is not reinstated.

Information on most serious violations is available to all 50 state DMV's for a period of ten years after the conviction or license reinstatement.  License suspensions and revocations which are not reinstated will remain on your record indefinitely.

Convictions remain on file indefinitely with the court which handled the case and in state and local criminal history files.  Time limits and changes in your driving record do not affect these records in any way. The Nevada DPS Records and Technology Division maintains Nevada criminal history records.
