Recording calls in Nevada
Nevada asks for the consent of everyone on a call before it is recorded. If the agent records the calls it answers, the usual practice is to tell each caller at the start.
§ 200.620 bars intercepting a wire communication such as a phone call unless one party consents and an emergency makes a court order impractical, with court approval after. § 200.650 lets one party to a private in-person conversation authorize recording it.
Reporters Committee summary for NevadaThe Nevada Supreme Court held that taping a phone call with the consent of only one party violates § 200.620.
The Nevada Supreme Court held that § 200.620 covers recordings made in Nevada, not calls recorded with equipment in another state, and restated that a phone call needs every party's consent.
Section 200.620 mentions the consent of one party, so some sources call Nevada a one-party state. The Nevada Supreme Court read it in Lane v. Allstate (1998) to bar taping a phone call with only one party's consent. In-person conversations follow the one-party rule in § 200.650.
Willfully intercepting a phone call in violation of § 200.620 is a category D felony, punishable by 1 to 4 years in state prison and a fine of up to $5,000 (§§ 200.690, 193.130). The person recorded can sue for actual damages or $100 per day of violation with a $1,000 minimum, whichever is higher, plus punitive damages and attorney fees (§ 200.690(1)(b)).

Using an AI agent to answer your Nevada line
Nevada needs everyone's consent, so the recording notice goes in the agent's first sentence, before the caller says anything. Ask your lawyer whether the notice plus the caller staying on the line meets Nevada's standard for your industry.

If the agent also calls out from Nevada
An answering service mostly takes calls. Callbacks and reminders are outbound, and outbound calls follow the federal rules plus Nevada's own.
Outbound calls that use an AI voice need the called party's prior express consent, unless the call is for an emergency or fits an FCC exemption. AI-voice calls that include telemarketing need prior express written consent. The FCC ruled in February 2024 (FCC 24-17) that an AI-generated voice is an artificial voice under the TCPA, so these calls must also identify the caller and, for telemarketing, offer a way to opt out.
47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(B)47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(2) and (a)(3)FCC ruling on AI voices, February 2024Federal rules allow telemarketing calls from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the called party's local time. Some states set a shorter window, listed below when they do.
16 C.F.R. § 310.4(c)Nevada bars autodialed calls that play a recorded message unless a natural voice first explains the call and names the business, and bars such calls to Nevada phones between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. Calls to people with an existing business relationship are exempt (§ 597.814).

Nevada call recording law FAQs
Is Nevada a one-party or all-party consent state for recording calls?
Nevada is an all-party consent state for recording calls, under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 200.620. Section 200.620 mentions the consent of one party, so some sources call Nevada a one-party state. The Nevada Supreme Court read it in Lane v. Allstate (1998) to bar taping a phone call with only one party's consent. In-person conversations follow the one-party rule in § 200.650. This is general information, not legal advice. Ask a lawyer about your own calls.
Do I have to tell callers an AI agent is recording in Nevada?
Plan on yes. Nevada asks for every party's consent, so the agent should say the call is recorded at the start. The sample agent opens with "Thanks for calling. This is an AI assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?" and you can change the rest of the line. This is general information, not legal advice.
What if the caller is in a different state than my Nevada business?
The stricter state's rule can apply. In Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney (2006), the California Supreme Court held that California's all-party rule governs, going forward, calls a Georgia office records with clients in California. A business that takes calls from other states usually announces recording on every call.
