What is an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form?
An I-9 Form is the Employment Eligibility Verification Form required by the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) to verify your identity and your eligibility to work. All employees must complete this form and provide valid original identifications. You are not eligible for pay until Payroll Services receives a satisfactory I-9.
How do I complete the I-9 form?
Fill out and sign Section 1 of the I-9 Form on your first day of employment. By the 3rd day, submit it with valid identification documents to your Home Department Coordinator, who will complete the rest of the form. Valid documents for proof of identification and of employment eligibility are categorized into 3 lists. You may submit originals of either:
- one document from List A, or
- one document from List B and one document from List C.
For details on what are the valid documents in each list, see the I-9 frequently asked questions .
