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.

Yes. Nevada law (NRS 108.270) requires you to send certified mail, return receipt requested, to both the registered owner AND all lienholders shown on the DMV title record. Missing either notification invalidates your entire VP-147 lien sale process, even if you properly notified the owner. This is the number one reason auction houses reject VP-147 submissions from tow operators.

The confusion is understandable. A former tow operator explains on automotive forums: "Tow company has to send 3 certified letters to both the titled owner and the lien holder over about 6 week period before they can lien sale the vehicle." But what happens when the lienholder is a bank that merged, went out of business, or has an outdated address on the DMV record?

📋 Nevada's Dual Notification Requirement Explained:

• Registered owner notification: Required because they own the vehicle subject to the lien. Must use address from DMV registration records, even if you know it's outdated
• Lienholder notification: Required because they have a secured interest in the vehicle. The lender loaned money against the vehicle and has first rights to any sale proceeds
• Multiple lienholders: If DMV records show two lienholders (first lien and second lien), you must notify both separately
• Timing: Send both certified letters on the same day; the 30-day waiting period runs from the date of mailing

⚠️ What If You Can't Find Current Lienholder Information? If the lienholder on DMV records is a bank that no longer exists (merged, acquired, or failed), you have several options:

• Research the successor bank: Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia, Chase acquired WaMu, etc. Send certified mail to the current entity at their registered agent address
• Contact Nevada DMV Title Research: They can sometimes provide updated lienholder contact information for lien sale purposes ($15 title search fee)
• Document your good-faith effort: Keep records of your research attempts (internet searches, phone calls to bank customer service, successor bank inquiries). If certified mail returns undeliverable, this documentation supports your VP-147
• Consider legal consultation: For high-value vehicles or complex lien situations, consult an attorney before proceeding with lien sale. Wrongful sale to a vehicle with valid lien = potential lawsuit

💡 The Most Common Mistake: Tow operators send certified mail only to the registered owner, assuming the bank "knows" the vehicle was towed because the owner stopped making payments. Wrong. The lienholder must receive independent notification of the impending lien sale. Without proof of certified mail to the lienholder (green return receipt or returned undeliverable envelope), your notarized VP-147 affidavit will be rejected by Pahrump auctions, Copart, IAA, and DMV during title transfer processing.

🏢 We provide on-site VP-147 notarization at tow yards throughout Aliante, North Las Vegas, and Clark County. During your notarization appointment, we can review your certified mail documentation to ensure both owner and lienholder notifications are properly documented before you sign the affidavit under oath.
