      Provisional (Temporary) Work Card

        A provisional document will be emailed to you once you pass the initial background. The email comes from a "no-reply" address so please check junk folder. 

        It is taking approximately 1-2 weeks to receive the provisional email. If you paid to expedite the process, the email will be sent in 2-3 business days. 

        If you need to have the provisional resent please email your request to PILBinfo@pilb.nv.gov with your full name.

          Once you are in provisional status you are eligible for employment with a licensee regulated pursuant to NRS 648.  You must have your provisional document on you at all times while working. Permanent Registration cards are NOT sent to you until we receive the fingerprint results. This may take 30-90 days.
