Nevada Immigration Laws

Nevada issues Driver Authorization Cards to undocumented immigrants. Applicants do not need a U.S. passport or birth certificate.

The DMV is prohibited from releasing information about legal presence or immigration status to any government entity for immigration enforcement purposes — one of the strongest DMV privacy protections in the nation.

Employers with 50 or more employees must use E-Verify for all new hires. Public contractors must also use E-Verify (NRS 613.440). Private employers with fewer than 50 employees may voluntarily enroll.

SB 347 (2023) expanded in-state tuition eligibility to students who graduated from a Nevada high school or lived in the state for 1+ year, regardless of immigration status. Eligible students can access state financial aid including the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship.

Nevada regulatory bodies cannot deny professional licensure based solely on immigration status.
