Yes, in most cases event contracts can be notarized after signing if the original notarization was missed. The standard notarization for contracts is an acknowledgment: you acknowledge before a notary that you signed the contract of your own free will. You must appear in person with valid identification, and the notary confirms your identity and witnesses your acknowledgment of the signature.

Important: Dating & Validity Timing:

The notarization will be dated the day it occurs, not the day you originally signed. This means the notarization validates your signature as authentic and voluntary as of that later date, but doesn't retroactively change the contract's signing date. Both dates appear on the certificate, which is acceptable in Nevada and most jurisdictions for contract enforcement.

📅 Timeline Considerations:

• Late notarization does not void the original contract
• Venue acceptance depends on their specific requirements and contract language
• The longer the delay between signing and notarization, the more explanation you may need to provide
• Communication with the event organizer or venue is essential before scheduling

✅ Best Practice:

Notify your venue or contracting party immediately that you're seeking notarization. Event contract notarization at Las Vegas Convention Center venues and Fremont East events can be arranged quickly with same-day or next-day appointments, minimizing delays.

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.
