What if an employee's work authorization expires?

When an employee's work authorization expires, employers must complete Section 3 reverification before the expiration date using either the current I-9 form version or a standalone Section 3 supplement. The employee must present new documentation from either List A (showing both identity and work authorization) or List C (showing work authorization only)—employers cannot require specific documents and must accept any valid documentation the employee chooses to present from the acceptable list. Common scenarios requiring reverification include Employment Authorization Documents (EAD cards) expiring after initial hire, temporary work visas reaching their end date, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) renewals, DACA work permits requiring renewal, and conditional permanent resident cards (2-year green cards) needing replacement with 10-year permanent resident cards.

Missing reverification deadlines is the #1 I-9 audit violation, appearing in 67% of ICE enforcement cases with penalties of $288 to $2,861 per unreverified employee. Employers must track work authorization expiration dates proactively—ideally 90 days before expiration—and cannot continue employing workers whose authorization has lapsed, even by a single day, without completed reverification. The reverification process requires the employee to present unexpired documents, the employer or authorized representative to physically examine them (unless using approved remote verification through December 2025), and proper completion of Section 3 fields including document title, number, and expiration date. Employers should maintain tickler systems, automated HR reminders, or calendar alerts for every employee with temporary work authorization to ensure timely reverification and avoid the severe consequences of employing unauthorized workers after status expiration.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides I-9 reverification services throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County, helping employers maintain compliance when employee work authorization expires. Our mobile notaries travel to employee locations to examine updated documentation, complete Section 3 accurately, and provide employers with properly reverified I-9 forms that meet federal standards. This service is especially valuable for businesses with distributed workforces, remote employees, or limited HR capacity who need professional assistance tracking and completing reverifications before deadlines. We also offer reverification tracking consultations that help employers identify upcoming expiration dates and implement proactive compliance systems.

Can I Apostille a Photocopy or Scanned Document?

Can I apostille a photocopy or scanned document?

No — not as a plain copy. Nevada will not issue an apostille on a basic photocopy or ordinary scan printout; the document must be a notarized original or a certified copy from the correct agency.

In practice, that means a PDF on your phone or a photocopy from your home printer has to be turned into a valid Nevada original before the Nevada Secretary of State will attach an apostille.

When a photocopy can still work

A photocopy or printout can be part of an acceptable apostille packet if it is first turned into a notarized document or certified record under Nevada rules. The state needs to verify the Nevada notary, registrar, or official who signed what they see, not just confirm that it looks like your scan.

  • Notarized copy certifications, where a Nevada notary certifies that a copy of a passport, ID, or diploma is a true copy of the original, creating a notarized document that can be apostilled as a notarized original.
  • School records printed from a student system, then signed and notarized by a registrar or authorized officer before they are sent to the Nevada Secretary of State.
  • Business documents that start as PDFs, are printed, signed in wet ink, and then notarized correctly, so the state is authenticating the notary’s certificate rather than the file format.

Why Nevada insists on “real” originals

An apostille does not prove the content is true; it proves that the Nevada official who signed or notarized the paper is genuine and properly commissioned. That only works when the paper submitted is a notarized original or certified copy from a recognized Nevada office, not a generic photocopy or printout of a scan.

Photocopies that usually get rejected

Some copy-based documents are almost always rejected when submitted “as is,” even if they look official. These usually need to be replaced with proper certified copies or recreated as fresh notarized originals.

  • Hospital birth worksheets or souvenir certificates instead of Nevada Vital Records or county-certified birth, marriage, or death certificates.
  • Printed or scanned copies of court orders and decrees instead of certified copies with a court seal and clerk signature.
  • Out-of-state documents copied and notarized in Nevada when they should be authenticated by the state where they were originally issued.

How to fix a scan or photocopy problem

If all you have is a scan or photocopy, the solution is usually to recreate an eligible Nevada original instead of trying to force the copy through the apostille system.

  • Identify whether the item is a notarized legal document, vital record, court order, business record, or educational record, because each follows different “original vs. certified copy” rules.
  • Request certified copies from the issuing agency for vital records and court documents, or sign new wet‑ink originals and have them notarized properly for powers of attorney, affidavits, and many business documents.
  • Rebuild the apostille packet with the correct version and an accurate Nevada apostille order form so the Secretary of State can accept and process your request.

Are mobile notarizations just as valid as in-office notarizations in Nevada?

Yes. In Nevada, a notarization performed by a commissioned notary is valid whether it occurs in an office or at your location, provided statutory requirements are met: personal appearance, government-issued ID verification, complete notarial certificate, and proper journal entry and seal. Mobile service changes the “where,” not the legal standard. For documents with venue wording, the notary lists the correct county/city for where the signing occurs.
