How to Apply for a License:

Submit an Application

Individuals applying for a Funeral Agent license should apply electronically on Sircon.com. The State licensing fee is $185.  The vendor may charge transaction fees in addition to the state fee.

Be Fingerprinted for a Criminal History Background Check (Residents only)

Resident applicants must be fingerprinted for a criminal history background check. After applying for a license, upload to the application the Fingerprint Background Waiver, the fingerprint confirmation receipt and any other required supporting documentation (such as charging and resolution documents for any criminal history). The waiver must be received by the Division prior to submitting your fingerprints.     

**Please note the Fingerprint Background Waiver is linked to a third-party website. If you are having difficulties retrieving any of the forms, please notify the Division by emailing nevada.licensing@doi.nv.gov.

Make a reservation for digital fingerprinting through an approved vendor in Nevada (digital fingerprints cannot be accepted from out-of-state vendors). The criminal history report associated with your digital fingerprints is valid for six months.

Attach Employment Verification

Funeral Agents must attach the Verification of Employment form to their license application. This form must be completed and signed by the funeral seller who employs the agent. 

How to Renew:  

A Funeral Agent license is valid for three years and expires on the last day of the month three years after issuance. Licenses must be renewed on Sircon.com, and the renewal fee is $185. If the license is not renewed by the expiration date, a late fee will be applied and the licensee will be able to pay the renewal fee plus the late fee for 30 days after the expiration date. Failure to renew by 30 days after the expiration date will result in the license being inactivated and the licensee will need to reapply. 

Funeral Agents must attach the Verification of Employment form to their renewal application. This form must be completed and signed by the funeral seller who employs the agent.
