Most pharmaceutical wholesalers and DSCSA-compliant vendors specifically require Nevada notarization for pharmacy licensing affidavits used in drug supplier relationships. Out-of-state notarizations may be accepted for the initial pharmacy licensing application with the Nevada Board of Pharmacy, but vendor quality agreements typically mandate Nevada notarization because the agreement is being executed in Nevada and DSCSA compliance requirements reference state-specific notarization standards.

Real Scenario: A pharmacy owner in Arizona submitted an Arizona-notarized pharmacy compliance affidavit to a Nevada-based pharmaceutical wholesaler. The wholesaler rejected it, stating "We require Nevada notarization for all pharmacy compliance documentation per our DSCSA audit standards." The pharmacy owner had to pay for re-notarization in Nevada, delaying the vendor relationship startup by one week.

Key Distinction:

• (1) Your Nevada Board of Pharmacy licensing application may accept out-of-state notarization if it's properly formatted
• (2) Pharmaceutical vendor quality agreements almost always require Nevada notarization because the vendor is in Nevada and the agreement is being executed under Nevada law

To avoid rejection delays, use Nevada notarization for all pharmaceutical vendor agreements, quality agreements, and compliance documentation. For initial Board of Pharmacy licensing, check with the Board to confirm whether out-of-state notarization is acceptable before submitting—most require Nevada notarization anyway.

The 2025 I-9 penalty structure includes three categories of violations with inflation-adjusted amounts. I-9 paperwork violations range from $288 to $2,861 per form for incomplete or incorrect Section 1, Section 2, or Section 3 entries, missing signatures, incorrect dates, or failure to retain completed forms for the required period. Knowing hire violations for employing unauthorized workers range from $716 to $28,619 per employee depending on repeat offense history and whether the violation was a first offense, second offense, or pattern of practice. Document fraud violations for accepting fraudulent documents, failing to properly examine identity documents, or requesting specific documents instead of allowing employee choice range from $590 to $11,823 per violation.

These penalties are adjusted annually for inflation per the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act and apply to all employers regardless of company size or industry. ICE can impose multiple violation types on a single employee's I-9 form—for example, a paperwork violation AND a knowing hire violation—resulting in combined penalties exceeding $31,000 for one employee. First-time offenders typically receive penalties at the lower end of the range, while employers with prior violations, patterns of non-compliance, or evidence of discriminatory practices face maximum penalties plus potential criminal prosecution.
