I-9 Form Verification

Every employer in the United States is required to accurately fill out Form I-9 for every individual they hire, regardless of their citizenship status. Both the employee and the employer (or someone authorized by the employer) must complete the form.
The employee must confirm their eligibility to work by providing necessary documents that establish their identity and work authorization. The employer must carefully review these documents to ensure they appear genuine and belong to the employee. The information from the documents should then be recorded on the employee's Form I-9. A comprehensive list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. Employers must retain Form I-9 for a specified period and allow authorized government officials to inspect it when required.
