WIC offices in Sparks, Nevada

Four things: photo ID for the adult; a birth certificate, crib card or medical record for each child applying; proof of your Sparks address (lease, utility bill or official mail); and proof of income — recent pay stubs, OR simply your Medicaid, SNAP or TANF card, which proves income eligibility by itself. Don't have everything? Go anyway: a sworn statement is generally accepted as a last resort and you typically get 30 days to complete proof.

Nevada uses the federal maximum of 185% of poverty. For July 2026 through June 2027: $29,526/year for a household of 1, $40,034 for 2, $50,542 for 3, $61,050 for 4, plus $10,508 for each additional member — gross income, before taxes. A pregnancy counts as at least one extra household member, and anyone with Medicaid, SNAP or TANF is automatically income-eligible regardless of these numbers.

Nevada does not offer a full online application — enrollment runs through your local clinic: call a wic clinic near you to request an appointment. Call one of the Sparks clinics above to book; certification is usually completed in a single visit.
