How to Register an X-Ray Machine inNevada: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Opening or changing an X-ray facility in Nevada can feel confusing. This guide puts the state-level steps, forms, filing links, fees, and contacts in one place.

Heartland Physics can review the project scope and confirm whether its current qualifications and authorization cover any shielding work required for this project. Use the current government sources linked below for registration, plan review, fees, inspections, and filing requirements.

Quick answer

Nevada registers facility X-ray machines through the CLICS online system. The facility is responsible for the registration and fees, and the certificate must be posted before use. The state says processing may take about 30 days.

Start here: official forms and filing links

Each blue button opens the exact official form, portal, or state instruction page in a new tab.

What to gather before you start

• Nevada facility legal name, address, owner, and contact

• Radiation-safety contact

• Machine manufacturer, model, serial number, type, room, and installation date

• Shielding design and room records

• Installer and acceptance-test records

• Online payment method

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Plan the room and shielding

Address room shielding before construction or installation and retain the final design and supporting records. Heartland Physics can review the Nevada project and confirm whether its current qualifications and authorization cover the shielding work.

Step 2: Create a CLICS account

Open the Nevada CLICS link. Register the facility user and confirm the email address.

Step 3: Apply for machine registration

Choose the radiation-producing machine registration. Enter the Nevada facility, responsible person, room, and machine information. Upload requested documents.

Step 4: Pay and wait for the certificate

Pay the online charges and save the confirmation. Allow about 30 days for processing. Nevada does not normally require a state inspection before initial use, but the registration certificate must be posted before operation.

Step 5: Use CLICS for later changes

Update the registration when a unit is added, moved, replaced, transferred, stored, or removed. Renew and pay fees when the system sends the notice.

Cost

Nevada calculates registration fees from the facility and machine information entered in CLICS.

Keep these records together

• Submitted application and payment receipt

• Current registration certificate or license

• Shielding design, calculations, and state review letter when applicable

• Installer paperwork, FDA Form 2579 when applicable, acceptance tests, and equipment-performance reports

• Operating procedures, staff training, dosimetry, maintenance, and inspection records that apply to the facility

Important reminder

This guide covers the usual state-level radiation-machine process. Mammography, radiation therapy, mobile use, healing-arts screening, and some industrial systems can have extra approvals. Complete those extra steps when they apply to your equipment.
