Auto auction notarization in Las Vegas typically ranges from $45–$115 for on-site, same-day service at IAA, Copart, and Manheim facilities, with additional fees possible for urgent after-hours coordination.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary travels directly to auction yards across North Las Vegas, Paradise, Downtown Las Vegas, and Henderson to notarize title packets, bills of sale, and VP-136 vehicle powers of attorney on the spot.
On-site notarization helps buyers avoid storage charges that can add $40–$75 per day while arranging paperwork off-site and returning to the yard.
⏱️ Why On-Site Auction Notarization Matters
Auctions run on tight clocks: pick-up windows, gate passes, transporter schedules, and storage fees. Leaving the facility to find a notary often adds hours of downtime and a second trip—risking re-key fees, higher storage, or missing transporter slots. Title packets for auction purchases also vary by state and buyer type (dealer/exporter/retail), so having a Nevada-commissioned notary review, witness, and complete the correct certificate wording ensures your packet will be accepted by DMV or your title processor without a bounce-back.
- Compliance: Nevada DMV accepts properly completed acknowledgments for title transfers, bills of sale, and VP-136 when originals are signed in the notary’s presence.
- Speed: On-site notarization means you submit at DMV or to your title service immediately—no re-queues.
- Cost control: Avoid daily storage while hunting for a notary; most yards assess per-calendar-day fees after deadlines.
- Coordination: We meet buyers at the auction office, cashier window, or transporter staging so loading can continue while signatures are handled.
📋 How It Works: Step-by-Step at IAA, Copart & Manheim
Confirm your paperwork
Gather your lane invoice, title packet, and any bill of sale or reassignment sheets. If an agent will handle DMV work, include a Vehicle Power of Attorney (VP-136). Do not sign anything in advance.
Book on-site mobile notarization
Schedule at lakemeadmobilenotary.com/book or call (702) 748-7444. Tell us the facility (IAA, Copart, or Manheim), lot or gate pass, and the number of vehicles. We coordinate arrival with your release window.
Prepare IDs and dealer credentials
All signers present valid government photo ID. Dealers should have their dealer license or auction badge; exporters bring passport/ID. Out-of-state IDs are accepted for Nevada acknowledgments.
Sign & notarize
We verify identity, witness signatures, and complete Nevada-compliant certificates. Typical documents include Bill of Sale, Vehicle Title Transfer, and VP-136 forms.
Leave with DMV-ready originals
You depart with properly notarized originals—ready for DMV submission or overnighting to your title processor, without leaving the yard or rescheduling transport.

After-Hours / Urgent
Traditional off-site path adds hidden costs: 45–60 minutes to leave/find notary + $10–$18 travel/parking + another 45–60 minutes to return—often while storage accrues $40–$75 per day. On-site service compresses the entire task to ~20 minutes.
Example ROI: Buyer closing 4 vehicles in a day saves one full trip (≈2 hours) and 1 day of storage on two units. That’s ~2 hours productivity plus $80–$150 storage avoided—easily covering the notarization visit with net savings.
❓ Common Questions Buyers Ask
Do you meet transporters or yard staff to witness releases?
Yes. If a transporter or employee must sign a hold-harmless or release, we can witness and notarize those documents as part of the same visit. We coordinate with gate hours and loading windows to keep trucks moving.
Can you notarize multiple purchases in one appointment?
Absolutely. Many dealers schedule one on-site session to complete all bills of sale and title assignments for several lots. Multi-vehicle pricing applies, and we handle packet review to reduce clerk rejections later.
What if the registered owner isn’t present?
Use a properly completed VP-136 Vehicle Power of Attorney. We routinely notarize VP-136 for absent owners, fleet managers, and export agents so authorized representatives can sign title documents.
Do Copart and IAA require originals?
Your DMV will require original wet-ink notarizations. We provide embossed/ink-stamp certificates on the spot. If your packet requires a Secure Power of Attorney (VP-221) due to title reassignments, we can notarize that document as well.
