When hiring new employees, businesses must ensure that their workforce is legally authorized to work in the United States. One critical step in this process is completing the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. At Zoom 2 Go Notary, we provide professional I-9 verification services to help employers meet federal requirements efficiently and accurately.
What is Form I-9?
The Form I-9 is a document required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to verify a new hire’s identity and employment authorization. Employers must complete this form for every employee, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. The form includes two main sections:
- Section 1: Completed by the employee on or before their first day of work.
- Section 2: Completed by the employer or an authorized representative within three business days of the employee’s start date.
How Notaries Can Assist with I-9 Verification
As notaries public, we are often asked to serve as an employer’s authorized representative for Section 2 of the I-9 form. While notaries do not notarize the I-9, we can verify an employee’s identification documents and complete the employer certification.
At Zoom 2 Go Notary, we:
✅ Verify the authenticity of the employee’s ID documents (passport, driver’s license, social security card, etc.).
✅ Ensure that Form I-9 is properly filled out and compliant with USCIS guidelines.
✅ Sign the form as the employer’s authorized representative.
✅ Offer mobile and remote services, making the process convenient for both employers and employees.
Why Proper I-9 Verification is Essential
Failure to properly complete and maintain I-9 forms can result in severe penalties for employers, including fines and potential legal action. Businesses must ensure compliance to avoid the risk of audits, penalties, or hiring unauthorized workers.
By working with Zoom 2 Go Notary, employers can:
✔ Ensure compliance with federal laws.
✔ Avoid costly fines and legal issues.
✔ Streamline the hiring process for remote or out-of-state employees.
✔ Save time by outsourcing I-9 verification to professionals.
