I9 Form 2019-2025

About I-9

Form I-9 is an employment eligibility verification form used by employers in the United States. It is a mandatory form required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to establish the identity and eligibility of individuals hired for employment in the country. Both employers and employees have specific responsibilities related to Form I-9. Employers are required to complete and retain the form for each employee they hire, while employees are responsible for providing the necessary documentation to establish their identity and employment authorization. The form requires employees to provide information such as their full name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and citizenship status, among other details. Additionally, employees must present specific documents to prove their identity and eligibility to work in the United States, such as a valid passport, driver's license, or Social Security card. Form I-9 is applicable to all employers in the United States. This means that any business or organization that hires employees, whether full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal, is subject to the requirements of completing and retaining Form I-9 for each individual hired. Failure to comply with Form I-9 requirements can lead to serious legal consequences for employers.
