How do I verify a Nevada real estate agent's license?
By Steve Lockhart
The short answer
Use the Nevada Real Estate Division license lookup, the official public record of every licensed Nevada agent and broker. Search by name or license number to confirm the license is active, and visit the Division's consumer information pages to understand what licensing and discipline records show.

Use the Nevada Real Estate Division license lookup, the official public record of every licensed Nevada agent and broker. Search by name or license number to confirm the license is active, and visit the Division's consumer information pages to understand what licensing and discipline records show. A legitimate professional expects you to check, and a valid license is the floor, not the whole test.
The license lookup tells you whether the license is current and in good standing. The Division also publishes consumer information that explains how the licensing process works and how to file or check a complaint, and its public records process can produce the documentary history you need. Read those records carefully: a complaint or a public record is not proof of misconduct, and the Division's files show what was filed and how it was resolved.
Check the license number against the person you actually meet. Ask for the license number at the first conversation and write it down. In Las Vegas, an agent should also be happy to name their brokerage, because the license is held through it and both are part of the public record.
