Las Vegas birth certificates, death certificates and certificate fees
The Southern Nevada Health District Vital Records Office is Clark County’s repository for birth and death records. SNHD states that birth and death records are confidential in Nevada, and valid identification is required.
SNHD says it has birth certificates for Clark County births from 1973 to the present. Birth certificates can be requested online, by mail, or dropped off in office. Death certificates can also be requested online, by mail, or dropped off, but same-day service is not offered.
| Task | Official detail | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate | Clark County births from 1973 to present. No same-day birth-certificate service listed. | Photo ID, proof of relationship if required, full name, date of birth, parent details, mailing address, and payment method. |

Vital Records fee planner
The old post listed the SNHD certificate fee pattern as $38 for the first certificate and $25 for each additional copy per request. Verify current fees on the official page before ordering.
One certificate using the listed first-certificate amount. Online, mail, search, service, delivery, correction, and other charges may be different.
Vital Records steps
- Choose birth certificate or death certificate.
- Confirm the event is in Clark County and falls under SNHD’s record coverage.
- Use the official SNHD page, not an unofficial vendor.
- Prepare valid photo identification and proof of relationship if required.
- Submit online, by mail, or by official drop-off instructions.
- Do not expect same-day service unless the official page clearly says otherwise.
Las Vegas vaccine appointments, travel vaccines and immunization records
SNHD’s Immunization Clinic provides routine age-appropriate vaccines, travel vaccines, seasonal flu vaccine, pneumococcal vaccines, college immunizations, immigration immunizations, and related vaccine services.
For travel vaccine appointments, SNHD tells users to call 702-759-0850. The main facility page also lists immunization services Monday-Thursday, with regular adult/childhood vaccine hours and separate travel vaccine hours. Always verify the exact appointment page before going.
How to download or request immunization records
For personal immunization records, SNHD directs users to the Nevada WebIZ Public Access Portal. If the online portal does not work, SNHD lists the state contact as IZIT@health.nv.gov or 775-684-5954.
- Use Nevada WebIZ Public Access Portal first.
- Have legal name, date of birth, and relationship to a minor ready.
- If emailing the state, include the legal name, DOB, association if requesting for a minor, and a phone number or email address.
- Do not use the public records form for immunization records.
Southern Nevada Community Health Center, primary care and family planning
The Southern Nevada Community Health Center is connected to SNHD but focuses on direct clinical care. Services may include primary care, family planning, HIV care, behavioral health, refugee health, pharmacy, nutritional health, and related health-center programs.
The official main facility page lists the Primary Care Center phone as 702-759-1700. Primary care is by appointment only. Family planning services are also listed through the Community Health Center and may include birth control, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, and reproductive-health counseling.
Las Vegas sexual health clinic, STI testing, HIV, PrEP and PEP
The SNHD Sexual Health Clinic lists preventive services such as condoms, PEP, PrEP, mpox-related services, and sexual-assault follow-up. Testing and treatment services include hepatitis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis, and triple-site testing.
The clinic is listed at the main facility and Fremont Public Health Center. Main facility walk-ins for STI testing and treatment are available until capacity is reached, so arriving earlier improves the chance of same-day service.
Las Vegas food handler card, renewal, duplicate card and lookup
The Food Handler Safety Training Card Program is one of the most important SNHD services for workers and businesses. SNHD says food handler safety training cards are required for people employed in or operating a food establishment as defined by Nevada law.
First-time and in-person renewal clients must schedule a testing appointment. The first-time test has 20 multiple-choice questions, the renewal test has 10 questions, and a passing score is 70% or better. SNHD says cards are issued immediately after passing in-person testing and paying applicable fees.
| Food card task | Official route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| First-time food handler card | Schedule in-person testing through official SNHD appointment system. | Valid ID, study materials, appointment date/time, and payment method. |
| Renewal testing | Schedule appointment or check online renewal eligibility. | Previous card number, expiration date, ID, and payment method. |
| Online renewal | Only eligible cardholders can renew online at every other renewal. | Previous card number and expiration date. |
| Card lookup | Use official lookup, not a third-party card checker. | Name plus card number or date of birth, depending on lookup requirements. |
| Duplicate card or name change | Use official duplicate-card and name-change instructions. | Current/previous card details, ID, and legal name-change documents if applicable. |
Food handler card steps
- Read the official free training book and videos.
- Schedule a testing appointment on the official SNHD page.
- Bring valid identification that meets SNHD policy.
- Take the test and pass with 70% or better.
- Pay the applicable fee through official channels.
- Keep the card or printable renewal certificate safe for employer verification.
Restaurant inspections, food-establishment records, permits and environmental health
SNHD provides public tools for restaurant inspection searches and regulates food establishments and other environmental-health areas. Businesses should use current official permit and regulation pages, not old summaries or third-party pages.
If you cannot find a restaurant, pool, hotel, or other public agency record online, use the records-request route instead of the wrong personal medical or vital-record path.
How to make a useful environmental or food complaint
- Use the exact business or property name.
- Include the full address and nearest cross street if useful.
- Give the date and time of the issue.
- Describe what you saw, ate, bought, or experienced.
- Include symptoms, medical care, photos, receipts, or permit details when relevant.
- Use urgent medical care or 911 when health or safety is immediate.
Public records requests, inspection records and medical-record routing
SNHD separates private records, public records, vital records, immunization records, medical records, and public-health data. Using the wrong form can delay your request.
| Record needed | Correct route | Wrong route to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate | SNHD birth certificate page. | Do not use the public records form. |
| Death certificate | SNHD death certificate page. | Do not use the public records form. |
| Immunization record | Nevada WebIZ Public Access Portal, then state help if needed. | Do not use general public-health-data request forms. |
| Personal medical record | Authorization to Disclose Patient Health Information. | Do not request it as a restaurant or public agency record. |
| Restaurant, pool, hotel or inspection record | Records Request / Public Records Request Form. | Do not use vital records or immunization portals. |
| Foodborne illness investigation record | Authorization route if it relates to a complaint you previously filed. | Do not submit unrelated private health details through a public form. |
