Category A felonies include first or second-degree murder, first degree kidnapping, sexual assault, using a minor to create child pornography and battery with intent to commit sexual assault. Persons convicted of any two felonies in any other state are also required to register with Nevada police. Registered felons in Nevada are not required to carry a registration card.
