I-9 Form

The I-9 Form, officially called the Employment Eligibility Verification form, is used in the United States by employers to verify an employee's identity and eligibility to work. When hired, employees must complete this form, providing documentation that proves both their identity and their lawful right to work in the country. Employers must keep the I-9 on file for each employee, ensuring compliance with federal immigration laws. The form helps prevent the hiring of individuals who are not authorized to work in the U.S., promoting legal employment practices.
