To retrieve a vehicle from a Las Vegas or Henderson tow yard, you need four core documents: valid government-issued ID, proof of vehicle ownership (title or registration), current insurance card, and tow yard release authorization. If the vehicle is repossessed or impounded for violations, you'll also need notarized forms depending on your situation.

📋 Standard Tow Yard Retrieval (Owner Present):

• Valid photo ID: Driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID (must match vehicle registration)
• Proof of ownership: Vehicle title, current registration card, or DMV registration receipt
• Proof of insurance: Current Nevada auto insurance card (not expired)
• Payment method: Cash, credit card, or cashier's check for towing and storage fees ($200-800 typical)

🚨 Situations Requiring Notarized Documents:

• Non-owner retrieval: Family member, spouse, or friend picking up the vehicle needs notarized VP-136 Power of Attorney
• Repossession release: Lender redemption requires notarized VP-020 Repossession Affidavit
• Title complications: Out-of-state titles or lost titles may require notarized affidavits of ownership
• Business vehicles: Corporate authorization letters must be notarized with proof of signatory authority
• Estate vehicles: Deceased owner situations require notarized executor/administrator authorization

⏰ Timeline Matters: Tow yard storage fees in Spring Valley and surrounding areas typically run $35-50 per day. Missing required notarized documents adds 2-5 days to retrieval, costing $70-250 in avoidable storage fees. Lake Mead Mobile Notary meets you at tow yards throughout Clark County to notarize authorizations on-site, enabling same-day vehicle release.

💡 Pro Tip: Call the tow yard before going. Ask specifically what documents they require for your situation. If notarization is needed, schedule a mobile notary appointment to meet you at the facility, avoiding multiple trips and additional storage costs.

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.
