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.

Banks are unlikely to provide notary services after regular business hours (typically 5pm weekdays, closed weekends). If your corporate resolution requires notarization outside bank hours—Friday evening board meetings, weekend closings, or emergency approvals—you must use a mobile or after-hours notary service that offers extended or 24/7 availability.

Why After-Hours Corporate Notarization Is Critical:

Corporate resolutions often have time-sensitive deadlines. Board meetings frequently occur after standard office hours, and waiting until Monday morning can delay business deals, loan closings, or emergency actions. Nevada notary law does not restrict notarization to business hours—commissioned notaries can notarize anytime, anywhere within the state.

🕐 Common After-Hours Corporate Scenarios:

• Friday 7pm board meeting approving contract/funding (bank closes 5pm)
• Weekend M&A transaction requiring same-day resolution
• Emergency shareholder action requiring immediate notarization
• Late-night loan closing coordinated with lender in another time zone
• Holiday business requiring weekend notary availability

✅ Mobile Notary Advantage:

Mobile notaries provide flexible scheduling including after-hours emergency service in Advanced Health Care and Seven Hills. Same-day and next-business-day appointments ensure your corporate approvals are notarized without delay, keeping business on track.
