In Boulder City, cost reflects the number of signatures, certificate type, witness needs, and travel time. Secured notes can add prep if collateral documents require separate notarization or title steps. Expect a base per-signature fee plus a mobile service component. Prepare IDs, complete all fields, and have any POA or guarantor pages ready to keep cost down. Start with loan document notarization. If you also need verifications, see inspection types.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary serves as an authorized representative to complete Form I-9 Section 2 employment verification for international students working on campus in Enterprise. We examine your original identity and work authorization documents, verify their authenticity per USCIS guidelines, and complete the employer's verification requirements on your behalf.

Important: I-9 verification is NOT a notarial act—it is an authorized representative service separate from notarization. The I-9 form should not be notarized unless specifically requested by the employer (which is rare). This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of I-9 processing.

📋 Complete I-9 Verification Process for International Students:

1. Student completes Section 1: Fill out employee information section on or before your first day of work, including name, address, date of birth, Social Security Number, and citizenship/immigration status
2. Gather acceptable documents: Provide original documents from List A (e.g., unexpired foreign passport with valid I-20 and employment authorization) OR combination of List B (identity) + List C (work authorization)
3. Schedule authorized representative appointment: We meet you at your residence, campus, or convenient Enterprise location within 3 business days of your employment start date (federal requirement)
4. Representative completes Section 2: We physically examine your original documents, record document information, attest to their authenticity, and sign Section 2 with our business information

⚠️ Real-World Example - F-1 Student On-Campus Work Authorization:

• Student hired for on-campus library position starting Monday, September 15
• Student completes I-9 Section 1 on September 15 (first day)
• Student presents: Valid passport (List A identity), I-20 showing on-campus work authorization (List A work auth), Social Security card (List C backup)
• We meet student Tuesday, September 16 at Enterprise apartment (within 3-day deadline)
• Result: Compliant I-9 completed, student can continue working

Different scenario - Incomplete documentation:

• Student presents expired passport
• I-20 doesn't show work authorization endorsement from DSO
• Result: Cannot complete I-9, student must obtain proper documents from international student office before employment can continue

💡 Why Authorized Representative Service Matters: Many international students are unfamiliar with I-9 requirements and risk employment termination due to incomplete or late verification. Common errors include: (1) Confusing I-9 verification with notarization, (2) Missing the 3-business-day deadline, (3) Presenting photocopies instead of original documents, (4) Using expired documents. Our I-9 verification service ensures USCIS-compliant completion to protect both student employment and employer compliance.

🏢 Service Areas for I-9 Verification: We provide mobile I-9 authorized representative services throughout Enterprise student housing, Summerlin West apartment complexes, and Downtown Las Vegas near UNLV campus. Available Monday-Saturday with same-day and next-day appointments to meet federal 3-day deadlines.

Note: If you need related notarization services (e.g., affidavits for visa applications, consent forms), those are separate notarial acts—see our Notary with Witnesses service.

ICE I-9 audits are triggered by multiple factors including anonymous tips from disgruntled employees, competitors, or community members reporting suspected unauthorized worker employment, which account for approximately 30% of audit initiations. Industry-wide enforcement sweeps targeting high-violation sectors—hospitality (hotels, restaurants, casinos), healthcare (nursing homes, hospitals, home care agencies), construction, food service, agriculture, and pharmaceutical manufacturing—result in coordinated audits of multiple employers simultaneously. Prior violations at the same company create enhanced scrutiny with follow-up audits within 12-24 months to verify corrective action implementation. Rapid hiring growth that appears inconsistent with business size or seasonal patterns suggests potential unauthorized workforce utilization. Federal contract bidding requires pre-award compliance verification, triggering mandatory I-9 audits before contract execution. ICE also conducts random audits without specific cause, selecting employers from industries, geographic areas, or business categories targeted for baseline compliance assessment.

Additional audit triggers include: E-Verify anomalies showing unusually high rates of Tentative Nonconfirmations or Final Nonconfirmations suggesting systematic verification problems, worksite enforcement actions at related businesses (parent companies, franchisees, supply chain partners), Social Security Administration no-match letters indicating employee-provided Social Security numbers don't match SSA records, unemployment insurance fraud investigations revealing identity theft or document fraud patterns, and OSHA citations or wage-and-hour violations that prompt inter-agency information sharing leading to I-9 audits. Las Vegas employers in hospitality and healthcare face elevated audit risk due to industry targeting, while construction and food service businesses throughout Henderson and Clark County experience increased enforcement during economic expansion periods when rapid hiring raises ICE concerns about workforce authorization verification.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary helps Las Vegas and Henderson employers reduce audit risk by providing professional I-9 verification services that create compliant documentation from initial hire. Our mobile notaries complete Section 2 accurately, examine documents properly, and generate audit-ready I-9 forms that withstand ICE scrutiny—demonstrating the due diligence and compliance culture that reduces penalties when audits occur. We also offer pre-audit I-9 reviews for businesses concerned about triggering factors like rapid growth, prior violations, or industry targeting, identifying correctable issues before ICE initiates formal inspection. This proactive service is especially valuable for employers in Centennial Hills Town Center, downtown Las Vegas, and throughout Clark County's high-risk hospitality and healthcare sectors.
