Do I need to be fingerprinted in NV to earn a salesperson’s license?

Yes, Nevada requires you to be fingerprinted and submit to a background check as part of the salesperson application process. Your fingerprints must be done by an approved fingerprint vendor. Pearson VUE has digital fingerprinting at its Las Vegas in Reno test centers.

Fingerprints must be processed by the government or law enforcement agency within the last year. You can find an approved fingerprint vendor here. Pearson VUE also has digital fingerprinting at its test centers in Las Vegas and Reno, but you must make a reservation ahead of time.

There is no time estimate for how long fingerprinting in the background check takes in Nevada, but you can assume the process will take a few weeks.
