How to fill out employment eligibility verification

How to fill out employment eligibility verification:

1. Start by obtaining the necessary form, Form I-9, from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. This form is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States.
2. Review the instructions provided with the form to ensure you understand the requirements and procedures for completing it correctly.
3. Have the new employee fill out Section 1 of the form, which includes personal information such as their name, address, date of birth, and social security number.
4. As the employer, you are responsible for completing Section 2 of the form. This section requires you to examine the employee's identity and employment authorization documents to verify their eligibility to work in the United States.
5. Acceptable documents for verification include a U.S. passport, permanent resident card, employment authorization document, or a combination of other documents specified on the List of Acceptable Documents provided with the form.
6. Carefully review the documents presented by the employee to ensure they are original, unexpired, and relate to the individual presenting them.
7. Write down the document title, issuing authority, document number, and expiration date (if applicable) in Section 2 of the form.
8. Next, sign and date the certification in Section 2, attesting that you have verified the employee's documents and that they appear to be genuine and relate to the person presenting them.
9. Keep the completed Form I-9 on file for each employee, as you may be required to present it for inspection by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during an audit or investigation.

Who needs employment eligibility verification:

2. Both public and private employers, regardless of the size of their workforce, must comply with the employment eligibility verification process.
3. This requirement applies to all new employees hired on or after November 6, 1986. It is important to note that existing employees who were hired before this date do not need to complete a new Form I-9 unless they require re-verification due to changes in their employment authorization status.
