While Nevada exempts vehicles less than 4 years old from emission testing, DMV clerks often require EC-008 when you're registering an out-of-state title, even for brand-new vehicles. The EC-008 documents for DMV records why no Nevada smog certificate is attached to your registration packet, preventing processing delays.

This confusion happens most frequently in these situations:

• California dealer purchase: You bought a 2024 or 2025 vehicle from a California dealer and are registering it in Nevada for the first time
• Out-of-state title transfer: Your vehicle is titled in another state and you're transferring to Nevada registration
• Private party purchase: You purchased a new or nearly-new vehicle from a private party in Arizona, California, or elsewhere
• Dealer packet submissions: Auto dealers handling your Nevada registration often include EC-008 to prevent DMV rejection

📋 Why DMV Wants EC-008 for New Vehicles: Nevada DMV's registration system flags any out-of-state title transfer without a Nevada emission certificate attached. The EC-008 provides written documentation that the vehicle is exempt from testing due to its age, not because you're dodging emissions requirements. This prevents your registration from being flagged for follow-up review, which adds 7-14 days to processing.

⚠️ Notarization Required: EC-008 is a jurat affidavit requiring Nevada notary signature, even for new vehicle registrations. Lake Mead Mobile Notary works with auto dealerships throughout Henderson and Las Vegas to complete dealer submission packets on-site. For private party purchases, we meet buyers at Anthem, Green Valley, or anywhere in Clark County to notarize EC-008 and bill of sale simultaneously.

💡 Pro Tip for Dealer Purchases: If you're buying a vehicle from a Nevada dealer, they should handle EC-008 as part of their registration service. If you're buying from an out-of-state dealer or private party, ask if EC-008 is needed before going to DMV. Having a notarized EC-008 ready prevents being turned away and having to make a second DMV trip after finding a notary.

No, employers cannot use outdated I-9 forms after March 31, 2025. The new Form I-9 version becomes mandatory on March 31, 2025, and using any previous version after this date results in automatic paperwork violations with penalties ranging from $288 to $2,861 per form regardless of whether the old form was otherwise completed correctly. USCIS issues updated I-9 forms periodically to add security features, clarify instructions, update acceptable document lists, and incorporate regulatory changes—and employers must transition to the new version by the enforcement date printed on the form itself.

The March 31, 2025 deadline applies to all new hires, rehires, and reverifications (Section 3 updates) processed on or after that date. Forms completed before March 31, 2025 using the previous version remain valid and do not need to be redone, but any I-9 completed on or after the deadline must use the updated form. Employers should immediately download the new I-9 from uscis.gov/i-9, update HR systems and onboarding software, train staff on any new fields or instructions, and dispose of old blank forms to prevent accidental use. During ICE audits, use of an outdated form is one of the most common violations and demonstrates lack of due diligence in maintaining compliant employment practices.
