Key Employee Forms

Authorization to Release Information
Each applicant for a privileged business license will be required to complete the Authorization to Release Information and provide two (2) original, notarized-signature forms giving authorization to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to conduct a background investigation.

Business License Waiver
The Business License Waiver is required, due to the high volume of investigations completed by the Department of Business License and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. We are unable to predict when an applicant’s determination of suitability will be completed and ready for presentation to the Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board for action. Nevada state law requires that applicants be notified, in writing, at least 21 working days prior to being included on a public agenda.  In most cases, the Department and Metro are prepared to present cases to the Board under that 21-day window, so we ask that applicants waive that 21-day window so as to better serve their interest and enable us to place their item on the next available agenda.

Metro Application Memo/Instructions
The Metro Application packet contains information from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on completing their required forms (Personal History and Personal Financial Questionnaires), fingerprinting requirements, and alcohol awareness training locations.

Personal History Questionnaire
Each applicant for a privileged business license will be required to complete a form detailing their personal history, including personal references, legal history, family connections and history, and past residence information.  This form requires notarized signatures in several places. A color, passport-sized photograph of the applicant is required to be attached to this form.
