1-9 Employment Verification
At Alisha's Mobile Notary Services, we recognize the importance of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 in the hiring process. As an employer, ensuring compliance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations is crucial when onboarding new hires. Our team of skilled notaries is well-versed in serving as Authorized Representatives for I-9 Forms, making the verification process seamless and efficient.
The I-9 form plays a significant role in confirming the identity and eligibility of employees to work in the United States. It is a mandatory requirement for all U.S. employers, including those with remote workers. With the rise of remote work arrangements, more employers are turning to notaries to assist in completing the I-9 form for remote employees, ensuring adherence to legal standards.
Whether you are an individual employee or part of a corporate HR department, Alisha's Mobile Notary Services is here to support you in fulfilling your I-9 verification needs. Our team is dedicated to providing reliable and professional services to help streamline the verification process for both employers and employees.
DOES THE I-9 FORM REQUIRE NOTARIZATION?
As of 2018, there is no certificate wording contained in the I-9 form, nor is a Notary requested to affix his or her seal to the form.
When an employer delegates a Notary Public or someone else to complete the employment eligibility verification, that person is delegated as an “authorized representative”. The representative is just asked to certify that the appropriate identity documents were presented (as illustrated in Section 2 of the I-9 form). The authorized representative must example the employee’s identity documents while the employee is in their presence and then complete Section 2.
The authorized representative doesn’t perform a notarization or affix a Notary seal to the I-9 form, as they are not acting as an official Notary Public. In Section 2 of the title field, the Notary should write “authorized representative”.
According to the Handbook for Employers from USCIS, employers “may delegate someone to fill out I-9 forms for you, such as foreman, personnel officer, agent or anyone else acting on your behalf, for instance, a notary public”
