I-9 verification

I-9 verification is the process employers use to confirm an employee’s identity and legal right to work in the United States. Employees must provide documents, such as a driver’s license and Social Security card, which verify who they are and their authorization to work. Employers review these documents and complete the I-9 form, ensuring compliance with immigration laws. This process helps prevent unauthorized employment and maintains accurate employment records. It must be completed within a certain time frame after hiring and is required for all new employees in the U.S.
