Regulated Business: Forms

Required REGULATED BUSINESS Application Forms

Regulated Licensing Application Packet
Regulated Licensing Application Packet forms are required for all regulated licenses: The Nevada Business Registration Form (NBR), Business License Supplement Form, Fire Department's Permit Survey Form, Affirmation of Compliance (Industrial Insurance) Form, Compliance/Exemption Form (SB356).

  1. Nevada Business Registration Form
    The Nevada Business Registration Form (NBR) is the main part of the application and must be completed. An advantage of this form is that it is also utilized by most state agencies; therefore you do not have to repeat all the pertinent information to each agency. The NBR has specific directions; please be sure to read it carefully and completely fill out the document.
  2. Business License Supplement Form
    The Business License Supplement is a form for the Business License Department and must also be completed.
  3. Fire Department Permit Survey Form
    Completion of the Clark County Fire Department's Permit Survey Form is required of all applicants.
  4. Instructions for Scheduling Fire Department Inspections Online
    The Instructions for Scheduling Fire Department Inspections will enable Business License applicants to schedule their Fire Department inspection online. 
  5. Worker’s Compensation
    Industrial Insurance requires an Affirmation of Compliance with Mandatory Industrial Insurance Requirements, which indicates you have complied with industrial insurance coverage requirements in Nevada (NRS616). The form needs to be completed; "signed in the presence of a business license technician”; and submitted to the Business License Office prior to the issuance of a business license. If this form is mailed or faxed to our office, it must have the signature notarized. If you have questions or need more information regarding this form, contact the State of Nevada, Department of Business & Industry, Division of Industrial Relations, Industrial Insurance Regulation Section, 1301 North Green Valley Parkway, Suite 200, Henderson, NV 89104, (702) 486-9000.
  6. Child Support Documents
    The Compliance/Exemption Forms (SB356) are required by Clark County Business License Department to ensure that business license applicants are in compliance with court orders dealing with child support payments. This must be completed in order to process your business license application.

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.
