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.

Yes, in most cases event contracts can be notarized after signing if the original notarization was missed. The standard notarization for contracts is an acknowledgment: you acknowledge before a notary that you signed the contract of your own free will. You must appear in person with valid identification, and the notary confirms your identity and witnesses your acknowledgment of the signature.

Important: Dating & Validity Timing:

The notarization will be dated the day it occurs, not the day you originally signed. This means the notarization validates your signature as authentic and voluntary as of that later date, but doesn't retroactively change the contract's signing date. Both dates appear on the certificate, which is acceptable in Nevada and most jurisdictions for contract enforcement.

📅 Timeline Considerations:

• Late notarization does not void the original contract
• Venue acceptance depends on their specific requirements and contract language
• The longer the delay between signing and notarization, the more explanation you may need to provide
• Communication with the event organizer or venue is essential before scheduling

✅ Best Practice:

Notify your venue or contracting party immediately that you're seeking notarization. Event contract notarization at Las Vegas Convention Center venues and Fremont East events can be arranged quickly with same-day or next-day appointments, minimizing delays.
