IDENTITY THEFT IN NEVADA

As technology becomes more sophisticated, so too has identify theft. And even if nobody loses any money or suffers any harm, intentionally using a false identity or misusing another’s identity can result in jail or prison time.

Three of Nevada’s central ID theft statutes are:

1) NRS 205.460, which prohibits people under 21 years old from using a fake ID to drink or gamble;

2) NRS 205.463, which prohibits misusing another person’s identifying information, such as typing in another person’s social security number to access his or her medical records without consent; and

3) NRS 205.450, which prohibits falsely impersonating another person in certain situations, such as when getting married or making a real estate deal. Note that this law only forbids impersonating real people, not fictional people.

Depending on the circumstances, ID theft can be either a misdemeanor or a felony. And if applicable, the defendant may be ordered to pay restitution payments to the victim.
