How long does the judgment creditor have to collect a Nevada judgment? In Nevada, a judgment will expire within six years from the date it is entered.

You will need to attach an exemplified copy of the Judgment to the application. You can get an exemplified copy of the Judgment from the court that issued the Judgment. Keep in mind that an exemplified copy is different from a certified copy and may take longer to receive from the issuing court.
