Clark County Jail Mugshots
Clark County mugshot research should stay tied to official records. Booking photos may appear as part of a public CCDC custody profile when the system displays them, but the research does not support a promise that every inmate profile includes a photo. The official route is the CCDC in-custody search for current custody and the CCDC inmate records or LVMPD public records process for records not shown online.
There is no official finding in the research that CCDC publishes a complete historical mugshot gallery or a simple "all photos stay online for X days after release" rule. Treat the public roster as a current-custody tool. If the person was released, transferred, sealed, or moved into another agency's custody, a records request or another locator may be needed.
Find Clark County Booking Photos
Start with official sources. Do not use paid commercial mugshot publishers as a substitute for county records. A commercial page may be stale, incomplete, copied from another source, or unrelated to the current legal status of the case.
- Open the official CCDC in-custody search and accept any disclaimer screen.
- Search by last name, then add the first name if the results need narrowing.
- Open the matching custody profile and look for a public image field.
- If no photo appears, use the CCDC inmate records page or LVMPD public records portal to request the specific booking photo.
- If the person is in Henderson, North Las Vegas, City of Las Vegas, NDOC, BOP, or ICE custody, use that agency's system instead.
The official Clark County in-custody search entry page is the first public channel for a current CCDC profile.
Use the image field only as part of the larger custody profile. Charges, bond, housing, holds, and court status should be checked separately.
Clark County Mugshot Record Fields
A booking photo is one field in a broader jail record. The useful record is the whole profile, because an image without the booking date, custody status, and charge context can mislead readers. Public fields can vary based on custody status and redaction rules.
| Item | Captured detail |
|---|---|
| Public photo shown | Sometimes possible on official custody or profile systems; verify on the actual profile. |
| Name | Public booking name used to identify the person. |
| Booking or identifier number | Jail number used to separate similar names. |
| Booking date | Intake date or time if displayed. |
| Charges | Arrest or booking charges, which can differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond or holds | Release amount, no-bond status, or other-agency holds if shown. |
| Request fallback | CCDC inmate records or LVMPD public records portal. |
Are Clark County Mugshots Public?
Nevada does not have a single simple rule in the research saying all mugshots must be published online. The safer Clark County framing is that a booking photo may be requested as a public record, but release can be affected by criminal-history limits, juvenile or sealed records, privacy exemptions, active investigations, victim or witness safety, and redaction decisions.
Key Statutes:
NRS Chapter 239 makes public books and records of Nevada governmental entities open unless another law makes them confidential.
NRS 239.0107 generally requires an agency response, denial, delay notice, or referral within five business days.
NRS Chapter 179A places limits on criminal-history record dissemination, which can affect booking and identity records.
NRS 179.245 covers Nevada criminal-record sealing rules for eligible cases.
How Long Mugshots Stay Online
The research did not find an official CCDC rule stating that booking photos remain online for a fixed number of hours or days after release. Current custody is the safest assumption for the roster. A person who is released, transferred to NDOC, moved to city detention, or taken into ICE or federal custody may stop appearing in the CCDC search even though older jail records may still exist.
What is and isn't public: A current custody profile may show a photo if the system displays one. A historical booking photo may require an official records request, and sealed, juvenile, protected, or redacted records may not be released.
Request a Clark County Booking Photo
When the current roster does not display the photo or the person is no longer listed, identify the record as precisely as possible. Include the full name, date of birth if known, booking date, booking number if available, arresting agency, and a clear request for the booking photograph or booking record. Use the CCDC inmate records page or the LVMPD public records portal.
The agency may review the request for exemptions and redactions. Fees, identity requirements, and turnaround time can depend on record type and volume. Nevada's five-business-day response rule is a status and response rule, not a guarantee of instant release or full disclosure.
| Request Detail | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Full booking name | Matches the jail record to the person in custody. |
| Date of birth | Separates people with similar names when the agency can use it. |
| Booking date or arrest date | Points records staff to the right intake event. |
| Booking number | Best identifier when it appears on the roster or a prior record. |
| Arresting agency | Helps route the request between CCDC, LVMPD, city detention, or another office. |
Mugshot Removal and Sealing
Official Clark County mugshot removal questions are records questions, not website cleanup questions. If a case was dismissed, reduced, or later sealed, the court record and sealing order are the starting point. Nevada sealing under NRS 179.245 can restrict public access to eligible records after statutory conditions are met.
Sealing does not guarantee that every copied image on the internet disappears. The official route is to address the court record, then ask the originating agency about the public-facing custody or booking record. Commercial removal policies are separate from official records access and should not be treated as the county's process.
State and Federal Photos
NDOC offender profiles may include prison profile images for sentenced Nevada prisoners, but those are not Clark County jail booking mugshots. Use the NDOC offender search for state custody at High Desert State Prison, Southern Desert Correctional Center, Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center, Casa Grande Transitional Housing, or another Nevada prison.
Federal custody is different. The BOP inmate locator focuses on federal identity and custody information and generally does not operate as a public mugshot gallery. ICE uses the Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention, including possible Henderson-related custody. Check the right system for the custody stage.
