In a Nevada mortgage package, only some documents are notarized. The most common notarized document is the Deed of Trust, which secures the property as collateral. Other pages that often require notarization include specific affidavits (identity, occupancy, or name variations) and certain title or escrow affidavits when the closing instructions call for them. Many lender forms are executed without notarization and only need signatures or initials.

• Typically notarized: Deed of Trust, corrections/limited power of attorney when required by title, occupancy or identity affidavits, compliance or gap affidavits, and select title affidavits.
• Usually not notarized: Promissory Note, Closing Disclosure, initial escrow disclosures, privacy notices, and most lender specific acknowledgments that only require signatures or initials.
• Jurat vs acknowledgment: Affidavits and sworn statements use a jurat with an oath or affirmation. The Deed of Trust and similar instruments use an acknowledgment to confirm identity and voluntary execution.
• Non borrowing spouse: In community property scenarios, a non borrowing spouse may need to sign certain title documents. The specific pages and notarizations depend on title instructions and vesting.

When ICE audits your company, they issue a Notice of Inspection (NOI) requiring you to produce all I-9 forms and supporting documentation within 3 business days. The NOI specifies the timeframe of employment records to be inspected (typically all current employees plus terminated employees within the retention period), and employers cannot refuse the inspection or delay production beyond the 3-day deadline. ICE inspectors review every I-9 form for technical compliance—Section 1 completion, Section 2 timely verification, Section 3 reverification when applicable, proper document examination, correct dates, valid signatures, and adherence to acceptable document lists. Violations result in fines ranging from $288 to $2,861 per paperwork error, $716 to $28,619 per knowing hire of unauthorized workers, and $590 to $11,823 per document fraud violation, with average penalties of $500 to $5,000 per violation depending on violation severity and employer compliance history.

ICE audits are triggered by anonymous tips, disgruntled employee reports, industry-wide enforcement sweeps targeting high-violation sectors like hospitality, healthcare, construction, and food service, prior violations at the same company, rapid hiring growth that suggests potential unauthorized worker employment, federal contract bidding requiring compliance verification, and random audits conducted without specific cause. During the inspection, ICE may also conduct worksite enforcement actions including employee interviews, document verification with USCIS databases, and criminal investigations if evidence suggests systematic knowing hire violations or fraudulent document use. Employers found with substantial violations face monetary penalties, required termination of unauthorized workers, implementation of mandatory E-Verify enrollment, ongoing compliance monitoring, and potential criminal prosecution of owners, managers, or HR personnel if the violations demonstrate intentional non-compliance.

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.
