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.

No. The NVL-003 Dormant Vehicle Affidavit is a sworn statement under penalty of perjury that your vehicle was not operated on public roads during the entire insurance lapse and registration suspension period. If you drove the vehicle even once during that time, signing NVL-003 would constitute perjury, a felony offense in Nevada.

This is the most agonizing situation discussed across insurance and legal forums: discovering your insurance lapsed weeks ago, having driven to work or the store a few times before noticing, and now facing an impossible choice. The legal reality is harsh but clear:

• If you drove during the lapse: You cannot legally file NVL-003. You must pay operating without insurance penalties through traffic court ($500-$1,000 first offense, $1,000-$1,500 second offense within 3 years)
• If the vehicle was truly dormant: NVL-003 with proper notarization protects you from operating without insurance charges and reduces reinstatement fees
• If you're uncertain: Consult a Nevada traffic attorney before signing any DMV affidavits. Perjury carries more severe consequences than the original violation

⚠️ Why DMV Requires Sworn Affidavit (Not Simple Form): Nevada law treats operating a vehicle without insurance as a serious misdemeanor. The NVL-003 sworn affidavit exists to help honest drivers who immediately parked their vehicles avoid criminal penalties. Because you're swearing under oath with notary witness, false statements are prosecutable as perjury. DMV can and does investigate suspicious NVL-003 filings, especially if there are reports of the vehicle being driven, parking tickets issued during the suspension period, or traffic camera records.

💡 The Honest Path Forward: If you drove during the lapse, the correct process is: (1) Obtain new insurance immediately, (2) Consult traffic attorney about penalty options, (3) Pay operating without insurance fines through court, (4) Complete DMV reinstatement with proof of court compliance. Total cost: $700-$1,500 depending on circumstances. Attempting to avoid this through false NVL-003 adds perjury charges (felony) and DMV fraud penalties to your existing problems.

🏠 When NVL-003 IS Appropriate: Insurance payment failed, you discovered it within days, immediately parked the vehicle and took rideshare/public transit, obtained new insurance, and can truthfully swear the vehicle never moved during the lapse. In this case, NVL-003 with proper notarization at your Paradise, Henderson, or Las Vegas home legitimately protects you from operating without insurance penalties.
