01How it works

Four steps, arranged by the employer.

  1. 01

    Your employer chooses us

    The employer designates us as its authorized representative for your Form I-9 and sends instructions.

  2. 02

    You complete Section 1

    The employee fills in Section 1 of Form I-9, usually by the first day of work.

  3. 03

    We examine the documents

    You show the original documents you chose from the Lists of Acceptable Documents, in person.

  4. 04

    We complete Section 2

    We fill in Section 2 as the employer instructs and send the form back the way the employer asks.

02Important limits

An authorized representative, not a notarization.

Completing Form I-9 for an employer is not a notarial act. A notary who acts as an authorized representative does so for the employer, not as a notary, so no notary seal or stamp goes on the form.

The employer remains responsible for the Form I-9, including any mistakes its representative makes. The employee chooses which acceptable documents to show; we cannot ask for specific documents, and we do not give immigration advice or judge immigration status.

Employers enrolled in E-Verify may be able to examine documents remotely under the DHS alternative procedure. For current rules, see USCIS I-9 Central.

03What to bring

For the employee.

  • The original, unexpired documents you chose from the Form I-9 lists (photocopies cannot be examined)
  • Form I-9 with Section 1 completed, if your employer sent it to you
  • Your employer’s instructions and contact details

04Where

At our office or at your location.

At our office at 8101 E. Bannister Rd., Kansas City, MO, or at your home or office anywhere in the Kansas City metro in Missouri and Kansas.

Employers with several remote hires in the area can set up a business account.

05FAQ

Form I-9 questions.

Can a notary notarize Form I-9?

No. Form I-9 is not notarized. A notary can act as the employer’s authorized representative, but that is not a notarial act, and no notary seal is placed on the form.

Which documents should I bring?

You choose which documents to present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents on Form I-9: one from List A, or one from List B and one from List C. We cannot tell you which documents to bring.

Can you do it remotely?

We examine documents in person. Employers enrolled in E-Verify may be able to use the DHS alternative procedure to examine documents by video themselves. Ask your employer which method it uses.

Is every notary allowed to complete Form I-9?

Only when an employer chooses that person as its authorized representative. Being a notary does not by itself authorize anyone to complete Form I-9.
