List A documents establish both identity and work authorization, meaning employees presenting a valid List A document need no additional documentation to complete I-9 Section 2. Acceptable List A documents include: U.S. passport (book or card), unexpired foreign passport containing a temporary I-551 stamp or I-551 printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa, Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551, commonly called a "green card"), Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551), unexpired Employment Authorization Document (EAD) issued by DHS (Form I-766 or Form I-688B), and unexpired foreign passport with Form I-94 or Form I-94A indicating refugee or asylum status that authorizes employment. Employers must accept any valid List A document the employee presents and cannot require specific documents or reject valid identification based on personal preference, national origin concerns, or unfamiliarity with document types—such actions constitute illegal discrimination.

Common errors with List A documents include: accepting expired passports or EAD cards without reverification, failing to examine the entire document for obvious fraud indicators like photo inconsistencies or altered expiration dates, recording incorrect document numbers or expiration dates in Section 2 fields, requiring employees with valid U.S. passports to provide additional identity documents, and rejecting foreign passports with valid work authorization because the employer is unfamiliar with I-94 notations or refugee stamps. During I-9 completion, the authorized representative must physically examine the original document (not photocopies), verify the document reasonably appears genuine and relates to the person presenting it, and record the document title, issuing authority, document number, and expiration date in Section 2. Employers should train all authorized representatives on List A document features and anti-discrimination rules to avoid the dual risks of accepting fraudulent documents or illegally rejecting valid ones.

Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit typically processes DLD-68 affidavits within 10-15 business days after receipt. During peak filing periods (post-holiday weekends, summer travel months), processing may extend to 20 business days. Drivers should keep mailing receipts and notary-sealed copies as proof of compliance until DMV updates their license record.

Reddit users in r/Vegas and r/Reno consistently report frustration with the lack of immediate confirmation. Unlike online renewals, DLD-68 submissions receive no automated acknowledgment. You can check your license status at dmv.nv.gov or call DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit at (775) 684-4368 to confirm receipt. Mobile notaries who provide professional affidavit services typically give clients sealed duplicate copies and time-stamped documentation for DMV verification if questioned during the processing window.

⏱️ Processing Timeline:

• Days 1-3: USPS delivery to DMV Financial Responsibility Unit (certified mail recommended)
• Days 4-8: DMV staff review affidavit for completeness, notary seal validity, and supporting documents
• Days 9-15: DMV enters filing into system; license suspension hold removed if affidavit approved
• Days 16-20: Confirmation letter mailed to your address on file (optional; not always sent)

📋 Proof of Compliance: Drivers throughout Downtown Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas frequently request notary-sealed extra copies of their DLD-68 to carry in their vehicle during the processing period. If stopped by law enforcement, you can show proof of filing before DMV's computer system reflects the update.
