I-9 Employment Verification

(Non-Notarial Service)

An I-9 verification is a crucial step in the employment eligibility verification process that is mandated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In most cases, this form is used by companies to verify the identity of individuals looking for work and for employment authorization of individuals in the United States.

Ensuring the accuracy and legality of I-9 documents is important for both employers and employees. Whether the employee in question is a US citizen or from a foreign country, it is crucial to have the proper documentation in place. Companies that fail to properly complete and maintain I-9 forms can find themselves subject to significant fines and penalties for employers, and employees who violate this mandate may face challenges with employment eligibility and authorization.

In the current global workforce, hiring employees remotely is a growing trend. And the federal government is auditing more businesses to make sure they are complying with the requirements to complete I-9 forms for every employee.
​
Consequently, many employers hire Mobile Notaries to complete Section 2 of the I-9 form on their behalf, working as an Authorized Representative for the I-9.

During the appointment, you’ll need to present us with acceptable forms of identification such as a government issued ID card, or drivers license and any necessary supporting documents that are requested by the USCIS.
