I-9 Employment verification

---

Federal law requires employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of new employees using form I-9.  The form must be completed in a face-to-face meeting.

Is your new employee a remote hire? Smoky Mountain Notary serves as an "Authorized Representative" of your company to complete I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) forms legally and without errors.  

For proper I-9 form verification, section 1 should be completed by the employee before the meeting.  Notary completes section 2 and personally reviews the identification documents. 

 Note:  If the employee is not able to complete section 1, no problem, we can complete it and we then complete the preparer or translator certification. 

Please remember that the identification provided by your employee must be original documents.  The list of acceptable documents are included on the I-9 instructions in lists A, B, and C.  The employee can choose from these lists.

 *Having a non-employee complete the form does not relieve the employer of responsibility to complete and retain a legal and accurate form. The employer is still liable for any errors or omissions, so it’s a good idea to authorize someone who is familiar with Form I-9 rules.  We  are  Verify  I-9  Certified  and  familiar  with  I-9  forms  and  rules.
