Getting Your Card, Step by Step

  1. Check with your manager first. The local health department can also say if a card is needed where you work.
  2. If you do need one, pick a course that ANAB (the national group that checks these courses) has approved. The cheapest course for Nevada is eFoodHandlers, at $7.95.
  3. When you pass, print your certificate. That is your card, and it lasts three years.

Here is the Clark County rule, word for word (“certified” means you have the card): “Food Handler Safety Training Cards are required by any person employed in or operating a food establishment” (southernnevadahealthdistrict.org).

Where a County Sets the Rule

One county here makes its own rules: Clark County. In Clark County, only the county's own card counts. A Nevada card from a national company is not accepted there.

Renewing Your Card

Your Nevada card is good for three years from the day you pass. To get a new one, you take the same course and test again. Many people go back to the course company they used the first time. Type the date on your card into the renewal date tool to see the day it runs out.
