Yes. Family members can retrieve impounded vehicles with notarized authorization letters or Nevada DMV Form VP-136 power of attorney signed by the registered owner. Mobile notary service coordinates on-site notarization at tow yard facilities throughout Clark County, allowing the vehicle owner and authorized family member to execute documents directly at the impound lot in Boulder City and Las Vegas Valley.

Nevada tow yards require notarized authorization for legal liability protection when releasing vehicles to non-registered owners. The authorization letter must include the registered owner's full legal name, family member's full legal name, vehicle VIN, and specific authorization to retrieve the vehicle. Both the owner and family member need valid government photo ID.

📋 Required Information for Authorization:

• Registered owner's full legal name (as appears on title/registration)
• Family member's full legal name and address
• Vehicle year, make, model, and 17-character VIN
• Tow yard facility name and case/reference number
• Specific authorization statement ("I authorize [name] to retrieve my vehicle")

When the Grantor is a Trust, LLC, or Corporation, the signer must show both identity and authority to sign for that entity.

• Trusts: A recent Trustee Certificate or Certification of Trust naming the acting trustee(s).
• LLC/Corporation: An Operating Agreement or Corporate Resolution that gives the manager, member, or officer power to sign the easement.
• Document match: The title printed near the signature line should match the capacity shown in your paperwork, for example “Jane Doe, Trustee.”
• Recording readiness: We complete a Nevada acknowledgment that reflects the signer’s capacity so the Recorder can index the instrument correctly.

We handle trustee, manager, or officer signings across Anthem, Spring Valley, Henderson, and Boulder City. See Trusts and Estate Documents and Power of Attorney.

Employers must retain completed I-9 forms for 3 years after the date of hire OR 1 year after employment termination, whichever is later. This means an employee hired on January 1, 2023, and terminated on June 30, 2024, requires I-9 retention until January 1, 2026 (3 years from hire date), not July 1, 2025 (1 year from termination). The "whichever is later" rule ensures long-term employees who leave before the 3-year mark still have their I-9 retained for 1 year post-termination, while short-term employees who leave within months of hire still have their I-9 retained for the full 3 years from hire date. Early destruction or loss of I-9 forms before the required retention period expires triggers automatic penalties of $288 to $2,861 per missing form during ICE audits, even if the original I-9 was completed correctly.

The retention requirement applies to all I-9 forms regardless of whether the employee was full-time, part-time, seasonal, or temporary, and includes all supporting documentation such as copies of identity documents (if the employer chose to retain them), reverification records (Section 3), and any notes or correspondence related to the I-9 completion process. Employers must store I-9 forms separately from personnel files and ensure they are readily accessible for ICE inspection—typically within 3 business days of receiving a Notice of Inspection. Digital storage is permitted if the system maintains data integrity, prevents unauthorized alterations, and can produce readable paper copies on demand. Many employers struggle with I-9 retention compliance due to poor tracking systems that don't automatically calculate retention deadlines or flag forms eligible for destruction.

When our mobile notaries complete Section 2 as authorized representatives, we provide employers with date-stamped verification records that clearly document hire dates and retention deadlines, making it easier to manage the 3-year/1-year rule.
