Mobile Notary Services at Life Care Center of South Las Vegas

Remote verification of I-9 documents is allowed through December 31, 2025, under DHS's flexible verification policy, but physical document inspection remains required within 3 business days of the employee's start date or when normal in-person operations resume. This temporary accommodation applies only to employers operating entirely remotely or whose employees work at locations where no authorized representative can physically meet them during the verification window. Multi-state remote workers create additional complexity when state employment laws, tax requirements, and federal I-9 obligations intersect—for example, a Nevada employer hiring a remote worker in California must comply with both federal I-9 rules and California labor law notice requirements, while ensuring the authorized representative examining documents follows proper verification procedures regardless of the employee's physical location.

Best practices for remote worker I-9 compliance include: using authorized representatives located near remote employees for in-person document examination, conducting video conference verification only when truly no in-person alternative exists and documenting why physical inspection was impossible, retaining detailed records of remote verification sessions including screenshots of documents examined and explanation of circumstances requiring remote verification, scheduling physical document inspection as soon as the remote employee visits a company location or travels to an area with authorized representative coverage, and implementing clear written policies explaining when remote verification is permitted versus when in-person verification is required. Many employers incorrectly assume remote verification is a permanent option or automatically available for any remote worker, but DHS guidance emphasizes that physical document examination remains the standard and remote alternatives must be justified by genuine operational constraints.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary eliminates remote verification compliance risks by providing in-person I-9 verification for remote workers throughout Nevada and neighboring states. Our mobile notaries travel to remote employee home offices in Henderson, Las Vegas, Boulder City, and throughout Clark County, completing Section 2 with proper physical document examination that satisfies all federal requirements without relying on temporary remote accommodations. For employers with remote workers outside our service area, we coordinate with trusted notary networks nationwide to arrange compliant in-person verification, ensuring every I-9 meets audit standards regardless of where your employees work. This approach creates audit-ready I-9 forms from day one and avoids the documentation burden of justifying why remote verification was necessary.

Yes, but only with a notarized Nevada DMV VP-136 Power of Attorney specifically authorizing vehicle transactions. Tow yards and repo companies will not release vehicles to non-owners without proper legal authorization, regardless of family relationship or emergency circumstances.

Common situations requiring notarized vehicle POA include:

• Military deployment: Active duty personnel stationed overseas or out of state
• Hospitalization: Medical emergencies preventing personal appearance (ICU, surgery recovery, extended care)
• Out-of-state residence: Vehicle repossessed while you're traveling or living elsewhere temporarily
• Incarceration: Jail or prison situations where personal retrieval is impossible
• Disability: Physical or cognitive conditions preventing tow yard visits

📋 VP-136 Requirements for Tow Yard Acceptance:

• Must be notarized by a Nevada notary with wet-ink signature and physical seal
• Must specifically authorize the named person to retrieve, drive, and sign release documents for the vehicle
• Must include complete vehicle description (year, make, model, VIN)
• Original notarized document required (photocopies typically rejected)
• Your agent must present their own valid government-issued ID matching the POA

⚠️ Hospital Notarization for Emergency Situations: If you're hospitalized in Sunrise Hospital, UMC, or other Clark County medical facilities, Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides bedside notarization service. We coordinate with hospital staff to notarize VP-136 forms while you're receiving treatment, preventing storage fees from accumulating during your recovery.

💰 Cost-Benefit Reality: Mobile notary service for VP-136 costs $45-60. Tow yard storage is $35-50 per day. If hospitalization or deployment prevents you from personally retrieving your vehicle for 7-10 days, you'll accrue $245-500 in storage fees. Notarizing a POA immediately and having someone retrieve the vehicle same-day saves hundreds of dollars.

🏥 Special Case - Incarcerated Owners: If you're incarcerated and your vehicle was repossessed or impounded, Nevada jails and detention facilities allow notary visits by appointment. We provide incarcerated owner vehicle release notarization at Clark County Detention Center and other facilities, enabling family members to retrieve vehicles using properly executed POA documents.

Yes. A sworn Affidavit for a Nevada matter can be notarized anywhere by a legally commissioned notary. The critical details are:

• Correct certificate type: Affidavits require a jurat with an oath or affirmation and signature in the notary’s presence.
• Accurate venue: The certificate must show the actual state and county where the oath occurred, not Nevada.
• Local compliance: The out-of-state notary should use their jurisdiction’s compliant wording. If needed, the filing attorney can attach a Nevada-compliant form for clarity.
