When an employee's work authorization expires, employers must complete Section 3 reverification before the expiration date using either the current I-9 form version or a standalone Section 3 supplement. The employee must present new documentation from either List A (showing both identity and work authorization) or List C (showing work authorization only)—employers cannot require specific documents and must accept any valid documentation the employee chooses to present from the acceptable list. Common scenarios requiring reverification include Employment Authorization Documents (EAD cards) expiring after initial hire, temporary work visas reaching their end date, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) renewals, DACA work permits requiring renewal, and conditional permanent resident cards (2-year green cards) needing replacement with 10-year permanent resident cards.

Missing reverification deadlines is the #1 I-9 audit violation, appearing in 67% of ICE enforcement cases with penalties of $288 to $2,861 per unreverified employee. Employers must track work authorization expiration dates proactively—ideally 90 days before expiration—and cannot continue employing workers whose authorization has lapsed, even by a single day, without completed reverification. The reverification process requires the employee to present unexpired documents, the employer or authorized representative to physically examine them (unless using approved remote verification through December 2025), and proper completion of Section 3 fields including document title, number, and expiration date. Employers should maintain tickler systems, automated HR reminders, or calendar alerts for every employee with temporary work authorization to ensure timely reverification and avoid the severe consequences of employing unauthorized workers after status expiration.

An improper DSCSA quality agreement notarization can result in regulatory violations during DEA audits, potentially leading to fines or license suspension. Federal compliance standards require notarized quality agreements to meet specific formatting and language requirements—errors can render the notarization invalid in the eyes of regulatory authorities.

Real Scenario: A Las Vegas pharmacy had their DSCSA quality agreement notarized by a general bank notary who was unfamiliar with pharmaceutical compliance language requirements. The notary omitted specific DSCSA compliance language that confirms the vendor authorization and chain-of-custody verification. During a routine DEA audit, the inspector identified the notarization as "incomplete for DSCSA compliance purposes" and issued a regulatory finding requiring corrective action.

If You Discover an Error: The fastest solution is complete re-notarization by a notary experienced in pharmaceutical documentation. The corrected notarization should reference the original document's error and provide corrected language. Most pharmaceutical vendors will accept re-notarized documentation if submitted with an explanation of the correction.

Critical: Do NOT attempt to add language or make corrections to the original notarized document. This invalidates the notarization further. Instead, obtain completely new notarization with proper pharmaceutical compliance language.

Timeline: Re-notarization can typically be completed within 24-48 hours. Mobile notaries provide same-day service, allowing pharmacies to correct audit findings before regulatory penalties accumulate.

Prevention: Use notaries with pharmaceutical compliance expertise from the beginning. Specialized pharmacy notaries understand DSCSA requirements, Board of Pharmacy language standards, and vendor-specific quality agreement formatting. This prevents costly correction cycles.
