The I-9 form, or “Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9,” is a crucial document in the United States used by employers to confirm the identity and work authorization of their employees.
Mandated by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, it requires employees to provide proof of identity and authorization to work in the U.S.
Employers must complete this form for each new hire within three days of their employment start date.
Properly completed I-9 forms are essential to ensure that all employees are legally eligible to work in the country and prevent unauthorized employment.
