Can I collect age information from participants in Nevada? What are the requirements?

To collect age information from participants in Nevada, you must comply with the requirements set forth in NRS 483.290.

According to NRS 483.290, every applicant for a driver’s license or instruction permit must furnish proof of their full legal name and age by displaying an original or certified copy of the required documents as prescribed by regulation or a photo identification card issued by the Department of Corrections. The Department shall adopt regulations prescribing the documents an applicant may use to furnish proof of their full legal name and age to the Department.

Therefore, to collect age information from participants in Nevada, you must ensure that they provide proof of their full legal name and age as required by the Department’s regulations.

It is important to note that the Department is prohibited from accepting consular identification cards as proof of age or identity ^[1.1].

Additionally, there are specific regulations for drivers who are 16 or 17 years of age ^[1.2]. The Department may include on the face of the license the original date on which the license was issued or otherwise indicate that the license is for use by a person who is 16 or 17 years of age and has satisfied the requirements set forth in NRS 483.2521 before receiving the license. The Department may also issue drivers’ licenses pursuant to NRS 483.2521 with distinguishing characteristics which clearly indicate that the licensee is 16 or 17 years of age.

Furthermore, there are regulations for issuing a restricted license to a person between the ages of 14 and 18 if a medical hardship exists in the family ^[1.3]. The Department may issue a restricted license to any applicant between the ages of 14 and 18 years which entitles the applicant to drive a motor vehicle upon a highway if a member of his or her household has a medical condition which renders that member unable to operate a motor vehicle, and a hardship exists which requires the applicant to drive.

Finally, there are specific requirements for registering a child who is 14 years of age or older ^[2.1]. A child who is adjudicated delinquent for an unlawful act that would have been a sexual offense if committed by an adult and who was 14 years of age or older at the time of the commission of the unlawful act shall register initially with the juvenile court, the director of juvenile services or the Youth Parole Bureau in the jurisdiction in which the child was adjudicated.

In summary, to collect age information from participants in Nevada, you must ensure that they provide proof of their full legal name and age as required by the Department’s regulations. Additionally, there are specific regulations for drivers who are 16 or 17 years of age, issuing a restricted license to a person between the ages of 14 and 18 if a medical hardship exists in the family, and registering a child who is 14 years of age or older.
