What is an I-9 Employment Verification?

The I-9 form, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), verifies the identity and employment eligibility for employees hired in the U.S. The form is to be completed by both the employee and the employer (or authorized representative). As part of the process, the employee must present documents verifying his or her eligibility to work in the U.S., and the employer (or authorized representative) must physically examine these documents.

According to the USCIS Handbook for Employers, employers “may designate someone to fill out Forms I-9 for you, such as a personnel officer, foreman, agent, or anyone else acting on your behalf, such as a notary public.”

If a notary is agreeing to serve as an employer’s Authorized Representative, they are not serving as a notary in any capacity. The I-9 form does not require a notarial act, and they must not affix a notarial seal impression on it. They are signing the form in the capacity of Authorized Representative of the verifying employer.
