Not all Nevada title transfers legally require notarization, but many DMV transactions are delayed or rejected without notarized signatures. Nevada DMV strongly recommends notarization for seller assignments, odometer disclosure statements, and bills of sale to verify signer identity and prevent fraud. Mobile title notarization eliminates delays and ensures DMV acceptance throughout Henderson and Las Vegas Valley.

Private party vehicle sales particularly benefit from notarization because financial institutions often refuse to process loans without notarized documents. Commercial dealerships processing dealer-to-dealer transfers may use alternative verification methods, but consumer transactions involving liens, out-of-state buyers, or financed vehicles typically require full notarization for DMV acceptance and title insurance purposes.

📋 When Notarization Is Strongly Recommended:

• Private party sales with lender financing requirements
• Out-of-state buyer or seller title transfers
• Vehicles with outstanding liens or lien releases
• High-value vehicles requiring title insurance
• DMV title corrections or erasure explanations

⚠️ DMV Rejection Prevention:

• Nevada DMV clerks may reject unclear or suspicious signatures
• Banks and credit unions require notarization for loan collateral verification
• Title insurance companies mandate notarization for coverage eligibility

An authorized representative is a person designated by the employer to complete Section 2 of Form I-9 by physically examining the employee's identity and employment authorization documents, verifying their authenticity, and certifying that the documents appear genuine and relate to the employee presenting them. The authorized representative can be any individual over 18 years old, including mobile notaries, HR professionals, third-party service providers, or even other employees within the organization—the employer determines who is authorized to act on their behalf. However, the employer retains full legal liability for any errors, omissions, or violations on I-9 forms completed by their authorized representative, making proper training and reliable service providers critical to compliance.

Federal law does not require authorized representatives to have special training, licensing, or certification, but employers must ensure their representatives understand I-9 requirements, acceptable document lists (List A, B, and C), fraud detection basics, and anti-discrimination rules that prohibit requesting specific documents or rejecting valid documentation based on national origin or citizenship status. Many employers use mobile notary services as authorized representatives because notaries are already trained in identity verification, document examination, and record-keeping practices that align with I-9 compliance standards. The authorized representative must be physically present with the employee during Section 2 completion—remote verification via video is only a temporary accommodation through December 2025 and still requires subsequent physical inspection.
