Nevada does not mandate E-Verify use by private employers, though state agencies and certain public contractors may participate voluntarily under federal contractor rules.
Nevada has not enacted a statewide statute requiring private employers to use the federal E-Verify employment eligibility system. Unlike Arizona, Mississippi, or Georgia, Nevada law leaves E-Verify participation voluntary for most private businesses. Federal contractors performing work under qualifying federal contracts must use E-Verify pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation 22.1802, regardless of state law. Nevada employers must still comply with federal Form I-9 requirements under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Local governments are not authorized to mandate E-Verify because employment eligibility verification is a federal matter, and Nevada has not delegated regulatory authority on the subject. Public contractors should review specific procurement terms for any voluntary E-Verify clauses.
There is no Nevada state penalty for failing to use E-Verify because participation is voluntary; federal Form I-9 violations carry separate federal civil and criminal penalties.
