How to mail a PDF to someone in a Nevada prison
Personal letters and printed pages go directly to the person’s NDOC facility mailroom. Nevada is not on a statewide scan-to-tablet system — mail is opened, inspected, and scanned at the facility under AR 750.
Covers Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) state prisons, conservation camps, and transitional housing. Nevada county jails and federal facilities have separate rules and addresses.

Where to send mail
Personal mail from family and friends (including printed PDFs)
Use NDOC Inmate Search for the offender ID and current facility, then mail to that site’s address. The envelope must include the person’s committed name, offender identification number, and your complete return address in the upper-left corner.
[Full Name] [Offender ID Number] [Facility Name] [Facility PO Box or street address] [City, NV ZIP]
Send elsewhere or use a different channel
- Privileged / legal mail → Facility, under AR 722 procedures
Legal and privileged correspondence follows Administrative Regulation 722 — not the general incoming-mail shortcuts in AR 750.
- Books, magazines, and other publications → Verified publisher or vendor only
Books must be paperback and come directly from a verified publisher or vendor (AR 750.08). Pamphlets and most copied internet printouts are rejected unless received through approved religious channels.
- Electronic messages (Corrlinks) → Corrlinks.com — not USPS
One-way electronic messages from family or friends are printed in the facility mailroom and delivered during regular mail call. Offenders cannot reply by email.
- Funds → Approved deposit channels — not cash in the envelope
Cash, checks, and money orders found during mail inspection are unauthorized and handled under AR 750.07. Use NDOC-approved deposit methods instead of enclosing money with a PDF mailing.
Format & content rules
- AR 750 limits first-class enclosures to 10 pages per envelope. One newspaper or magazine article, one website printout, or one pamphlet may be excluded from that count — ordinary printed PDF correspondence counts toward the 10-page cap. Split longer documents into multiple envelopes.
- There is no statewide scan-center address. Mail the packet to the facility where the person is housed. Incoming mail is opened for contraband inspection and scanned by mailroom staff before delivery.
- The envelope must show the inmate’s committed name (both names if legally changed), offender identification number, and your full return address. If the name is misspelled and the ID number is wrong or missing, mail may be returned unopened.
- Up to 10 personal photographs per envelope (max 8″ × 10″). Computer-generated photo sheets on letter-size paper may hold multiple images, but each image counts toward the 10-photo and 10-page limits.
- One greeting card per envelope is allowed (max 8″ × 10″; no musical or electronic cards).
- Content can be rejected under AR 750.01(O) if it threatens security, order, or discipline — including sexually explicit material, escape instructions, weapons imagery, coded writing, and similar prohibited topics.
- Publications, calendars, and packages have additional rules in AR 750 and AR 711. Do not send items available through facility canteen or approved package vendors from outside sources.
Document mailing checklist
- Confirm the person is in NDOC custody and look up their offender ID and current facility.
- Look up the facility mailing address on doc.nv.gov (Facilities) or the Family Services Resource Guide.
- Keep printed pages at or under 10 per envelope; split longer PDFs into multiple mailings.
- Address with full name + offender ID + facility name and mailing address, include your return address, and mail as personal correspondence.
