When ICE audits your company, they issue a Notice of Inspection (NOI) requiring you to produce all I-9 forms and supporting documentation within 3 business days. The NOI specifies the timeframe of employment records to be inspected (typically all current employees plus terminated employees within the retention period), and employers cannot refuse the inspection or delay production beyond the 3-day deadline. ICE inspectors review every I-9 form for technical compliance—Section 1 completion, Section 2 timely verification, Section 3 reverification when applicable, proper document examination, correct dates, valid signatures, and adherence to acceptable document lists. Violations result in fines ranging from $288 to $2,861 per paperwork error, $716 to $28,619 per knowing hire of unauthorized workers, and $590 to $11,823 per document fraud violation, with average penalties of $500 to $5,000 per violation depending on violation severity and employer compliance history.

ICE audits are triggered by anonymous tips, disgruntled employee reports, industry-wide enforcement sweeps targeting high-violation sectors like hospitality, healthcare, construction, and food service, prior violations at the same company, rapid hiring growth that suggests potential unauthorized worker employment, federal contract bidding requiring compliance verification, and random audits conducted without specific cause. During the inspection, ICE may also conduct worksite enforcement actions including employee interviews, document verification with USCIS databases, and criminal investigations if evidence suggests systematic knowing hire violations or fraudulent document use. Employers found with substantial violations face monetary penalties, required termination of unauthorized workers, implementation of mandatory E-Verify enrollment, ongoing compliance monitoring, and potential criminal prosecution of owners, managers, or HR personnel if the violations demonstrate intentional non-compliance.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary helps Las Vegas and Henderson employers prepare for ICE audits by providing professional I-9 verification services that create audit-ready documentation from the outset. Our mobile notaries complete Section 2 verification with proper document examination, accurate data entry, and detailed record-keeping that withstands ICE scrutiny. We also offer pre-audit I-9 reviews for businesses concerned about compliance gaps, identifying common violations like missing signatures, incorrect dates, expired documents without reverification, and incomplete fields—allowing employers to correct issues through good-faith self-audits before ICE initiates formal inspections. This proactive approach significantly reduces penalty exposure and demonstrates due diligence that ICE considers when determining fine amounts.

Nevada notary law requires valid, government-issued photo identification for all document signers. For RV, boat, and vehicle title transfers or bill of sale notarizations in Boulder City, we accept the following unexpired photo IDs: Nevada driver's license or state ID card, U.S. passport or passport card, military ID (active duty or retired with photo), out-of-state driver's license (if currently valid), and permanent resident cards (green cards) with photos.

The ID must display your current legal name, photograph, signature, and be issued by a government agency. Expired IDs cannot be used for notarization even if recently expired. If your name on the ID doesn't match the name on the bill of sale or title due to marriage, divorce, or legal name change, bring supporting documentation such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the name change.

Both buyer and seller must present valid IDs when both signatures require notarization. For vehicle sales specifically, ensure the name on the seller's ID matches the name on the current title exactly. Discrepancies can cause Nevada DMV to reject the transfer. If you have questions about your specific ID situation, call us at (702) 748-7444 before your appointment.

We bring ID verification tools and expertise in Nevada notary identification requirements, ensuring your Boulder City vehicle sale documents are properly executed for smooth DMV processing.

A notarized Proof of Residency letter is accepted more consistently when it includes four items the clerk can verify:

• Full service address including the unit number and ZIP code
• Move in date or the date residency began
• Landlord or manager contact details for verification
• Printed names and signatures that match IDs and the lease

Most letters use an acknowledgment. If the landlord is swearing to facts under oath, we use a jurat instead. We meet signers in Silverado Ranch, Sunrise Manor, Winchester, and Whitney. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements and Notary with Witnesses Provided.
