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.

Police reports and DMV crash affidavits are separate filings with different agencies. A police crash report documents law enforcement's investigation, while the DLD-68 affidavit is submitted to the Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit explaining why you missed the 10-day SR-1 filing deadline. Only the DMV filing prevents license suspension.

Many drivers assume filing a police report satisfies all post-crash obligations. In reality, Nevada law (NRS 484E.070) requires independent DMV notification within 10 days for any crash involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $750. Police reports are not forwarded to DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit. When that deadline passes, you must submit a notarized DLD-68 affidavit to avoid automatic suspension.

📋 Key Differences:

• Police Report: Filed with law enforcement; establishes fault/liability for insurance claims
• DLD-68 Affidavit: Filed with Nevada DMV; sworn statement explaining late reporting; prevents license suspension
• Notarization Requirement: Police reports = no notary needed; DLD-68 = wet-ink notary signature mandatory
• Processing Agency: Police = local jurisdiction; DLD-68 = DMV Financial Responsibility Unit in Carson City

⚠️ Critical Timeline: If you miss the 10-day SR-1 window, DMV sends a suspension warning letter giving you 10-15 business days to submit a notarized DLD-68. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day DLD-68 notarization throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and all Clark County areas, ensuring your affidavit reaches DMV before suspension takes effect.

No, I-9 is required only for employees—independent contractors are not subject to I-9 verification because they are not considered employees under federal immigration law. The business relationship with an independent contractor is governed by contract terms, not employment law, meaning the contractor maintains control over how work is performed, provides their own tools and equipment, sets their own schedule, works for multiple clients, and bears the financial risk of the engagement. However, misclassifying employees as contractors to avoid I-9 creates major liability because ICE, the Department of Labor, IRS, and state agencies scrutinize worker classification, and intentional misclassification to evade employment eligibility verification constitutes a serious violation potentially resulting in back taxes, penalties, criminal prosecution, and fines far exceeding standard I-9 violations.

Recent enforcement focuses heavily on gig economy worker classification, with federal and state regulators targeting rideshare companies, delivery services, staffing platforms, construction subcontractors, and healthcare agencies that misclassify employees as independent contractors. The test for worker classification examines multiple factors: degree of control over work performance (employer-controlled = employee), integration into business operations (integral role = employee), opportunity for profit or loss (fixed pay = employee), investment in equipment and facilities (employer-provided = employee), permanency of relationship (ongoing = employee), and skill/initiative required (routine tasks = employee). Companies that systematically misclassify workers face joint employer liability where both the company and the misclassified "contractor" arrangement can trigger penalties, while individual cases of good-faith misclassification still require I-9 correction once employee status is established.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides I-9 verification services for properly classified employees throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and Clark County, ensuring compliant employment eligibility verification for your workforce. We also help businesses transitioning contractors to employee status by completing I-9 verification within the required 3-day window from the first day of employment. For companies using both employees and legitimate independent contractors, our mobile notaries can verify which workers require I-9 completion based on the business relationship structure, reducing the risk of inadvertent classification errors. This service is especially valuable for construction firms, healthcare providers, and professional services companies in Rancho Bel Air and surrounding areas that maintain mixed workforces of employees and genuine independent contractors.
