opportunity to complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in the record. You may
review and challenge the accuracy of any and all criminal history records which are returned
to the submitting agency. The proper forms and procedures will be furnished to you by the
Nevada Department of Public Safety, Records Bureau upon request. If you decide to challenge
the accuracy or completeness of you FBI criminal history record, Title 28 of the Code of
Federal Regulations Section 16.34 provides for the proper procedure to do so:

believes that it is incorrect or incomplete in any respect and wishes changes,
corrections or updating of the alleged deficiency, he/she should make application
directly to the agency which contributed the questioned information. The subject of
a record may also direct his/her challenge as to the accuracy or completeness of any
entry on his/her record to the FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)

an official communication directly from the agency which contributed the original
information, the FBI CJIS Division will make any changes necessary in accordance
with the information supplied by that agency.
3. Based on 28 CFR § 50.12 (b), officials making such determinations should not deny the
license or employment based on information in the record until the applicant has been
afforded a reasonable time to correct or complete the record or has declined to do so.
