What is I-9 verification?

I-9 employment eligibility verification is mandated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for every new employee hired in the United States, regardless of citizenship status.

How I-9 verification works:

• Section 1: The employee completes personal information and attests to their work authorization status
• Section 2: The employer (or authorized representative) physically examines the employee's original identity and work authorization documents
• Section 3: Used for reverification when authorization expires or rehire situations

Accepted documents include:

• List A: Documents proving both identity and work authorization (U.S. passport, Permanent Resident Card)
• List B + C: One document proving identity (driver's license) plus one proving work authorization (Social Security card)

For employers with remote employees in Utah, NotaryLTD serves as an authorized representative to complete Section 2 document examination in person. This saves employers the cost and logistical challenge of sending HR staff to each location.
