Form I-9

Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, is required for every new employee in the United States, citizen or not. The worker completes Section 1 no later than the first day of work. The employer reviews original documents from the lists of acceptable documents and completes Section 2 within three business days of the start date. The employee chooses which acceptable documents to present. Employers keep I-9s for a set period and must make them available for inspection. When an agency employs you on W-2, the agency completes your I-9.
