No, E-Verify does not replace Form I-9—all employers must complete I-9 for every employee regardless of E-Verify participation. E-Verify is a supplemental electronic system operated by the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration that allows employers to verify employee work authorization by comparing I-9 information against federal databases, but it functions as an additional compliance step after I-9 completion, not a substitute for the form itself. E-Verify is mandatory for federal contractors, subcontractors, and employers in states with mandatory E-Verify laws (Arizona, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah as of 2025), while remaining voluntary for other private employers. Nevada does not mandate E-Verify, making it optional for most Las Vegas and Henderson businesses unless they hold federal contracts.

The E-Verify process requires employers to first complete Section 2 of the I-9 form by examining employee identity and work authorization documents, then enter the I-9 data into the E-Verify system within 3 business days of the employee's hire date. E-Verify returns either an "Employment Authorized" result confirming the employee is authorized to work, or a "Tentative Nonconfirmation" (TNC) requiring the employee to resolve discrepancies with SSA or DHS within 8 federal working days. Employers cannot take adverse action against employees based on TNC results alone—the employee must be given the opportunity to contest the finding. E-Verify participation creates additional documentation requirements including retention of case results, employee rights notifications, and anti-discrimination compliance, as improper use of E-Verify (such as pre-employment screening or selective verification based on national origin) violates federal law and triggers separate penalties.

No. Most banks restrict their notary services to bank customers and documents related to banking transactions, making it difficult for non-customers to get non-bank documents notarized. Banks often have explicit policies against notarizing third-party legal documents, especially family estate planning forms, due to liability concerns.

Why Banks Refuse Non-Customers:

Banks treat their notary services as a convenience for account holders only. When they do notarize for non-customers, they typically limit services to simple acknowledgments and avoid complex or unfamiliar documents. Many banks refuse to notarize documents they didn't prepare or review, viewing outside documents as potential legal risks.

📋 Common Scenarios Non-Customers Face:

• You need a family power of attorney notarized but don't bank at the institution
• Your bank will notarize but only for account holders with minimum balance requirements
• The document is estate planning or trust-related—outside typical bank notary scope
• You live in a different city and your bank has limited notary availability

⚠️ Important Considerations:

Nevada law permits notaries to decline notarization for many reasons, and banks regularly exercise this right. Bank notaries may also lack experience with specialized documents. Seek a licensed mobile notary experienced with estate planning. Professional notaries throughout Henderson and Las Vegas provide flexible alternatives that accept all document types and serve non-customers daily.

Yes, but only with a notarized Nevada DMV VP-136 Power of Attorney specifically authorizing vehicle transactions. Tow yards and repo companies will not release vehicles to non-owners without proper legal authorization, regardless of family relationship or emergency circumstances.

Common situations requiring notarized vehicle POA include:

• Military deployment: Active duty personnel stationed overseas or out of state
• Hospitalization: Medical emergencies preventing personal appearance (ICU, surgery recovery, extended care)
• Out-of-state residence: Vehicle repossessed while you're traveling or living elsewhere temporarily
• Incarceration: Jail or prison situations where personal retrieval is impossible
• Disability: Physical or cognitive conditions preventing tow yard visits

📋 VP-136 Requirements for Tow Yard Acceptance:

• Must be notarized by a Nevada notary with wet-ink signature and physical seal
• Must specifically authorize the named person to retrieve, drive, and sign release documents for the vehicle
• Must include complete vehicle description (year, make, model, VIN)
• Original notarized document required (photocopies typically rejected)
• Your agent must present their own valid government-issued ID matching the POA

⚠️ Hospital Notarization for Emergency Situations: If you're hospitalized in Sunrise Hospital, UMC, or other Clark County medical facilities, Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides bedside notarization service. We coordinate with hospital staff to notarize VP-136 forms while you're receiving treatment, preventing storage fees from accumulating during your recovery.

💰 Cost-Benefit Reality: Mobile notary service for VP-136 costs $45-60. Tow yard storage is $35-50 per day. If hospitalization or deployment prevents you from personally retrieving your vehicle for 7-10 days, you'll accrue $245-500 in storage fees. Notarizing a POA immediately and having someone retrieve the vehicle same-day saves hundreds of dollars.

🏥 Special Case - Incarcerated Owners: If you're incarcerated and your vehicle was repossessed or impounded, Nevada jails and detention facilities allow notary visits by appointment. We provide incarcerated owner vehicle release notarization at Clark County Detention Center and other facilities, enabling family members to retrieve vehicles using properly executed POA documents.
