Nevada · Moving & Records Transfer

Moving to Nevada with kids?
Here's how to transfer your family's medical records.

Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states for families, with most relocations landing in the Las Vegas metro (Clark County) or the Reno–Sparks area (Washoe County). Whether you're moving from California, Arizona, or across the country, here is exactly how to get your children's medical records organized and your new Nevada providers set up.

Step by Step

1. Request records from your current providers — before the move

Under federal law (HIPAA Right of Access), your previous providers must release your child's medical records to you or your new provider upon written request. Start this process at least 2–4 weeks before your move date.

Tip: Request both a printed summary AND a digital copy. Many clinics can send records as a secure PDF — you'll need the digital version for school enrollment portals. (Source: HHS HIPAA Right of Access, accessed Sept 1, 2026)

2. Update NV WebIZ — Nevada's immunization registry

Nevada's statewide immunization registry, NV WebIZ, is maintained by the Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Your child's out-of-state immunization records will not automatically appear in WebIZ — you need to bring them to a Nevada provider to have them entered.

1

Bring out-of-state records to your new pediatrician

At your child's first Nevada well-child visit, bring the official immunization certificate from your previous state. The new provider will enter the doses into NV WebIZ.

2

Verify the WebIZ record

After the visit, check izrecord.nv.gov to confirm all historical doses appear correctly. Out-of-state entries are sometimes incomplete — verify dose counts against your original records.

3

Print the WebIZ certificate for school

Once verified, print the official NV WebIZ immunization certificate — this is the document Nevada schools accept for enrollment under NRS 392.435.

3. School enrollment in Clark County (CCSD) and Washoe County (WCSD)

Nevada's two largest school districts handle new-student enrollment differently:

Clark County School District (CCSD) — Las Vegas

Washoe County School District (WCSD) — Reno

Tip for mid-year moves: Nevada schools accept new students year-round. CCSD and WCSD both have enrollment offices that handle mid-year transfers — you don't need to wait for a new semester. (Source: CCSD; WCSD, accessed Sept 1, 2026)

4. Finding a new pediatrician in Nevada

Nevada's pediatrician-to-child ratio can make finding availability challenging, especially in fast-growing areas of Las Vegas and Henderson. Start your search before you move.

Family Stork

Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.

Moving across state lines means your child's records are scattered across providers, registries, and portals that don't talk to each other. Family Stork fixes that.

Give your new Nevada pediatrician your child's private @families.familystork.com address. They send visit summaries and immunization records — the health timeline builds itself. When CCSD or WCSD asks for documentation, the complete record is ready to print.
