Common Errors Committed in Preparing I-9 Forms |
|
|
|
In preparing an I-9 Form, be sure to pay attention to the following:
- Do not omit the date upon which a document expires.
- Make sure that every item in Section 1 (“Employee Information and Verification”) is completed by the employee. Make sure that the employee has signed the form in the box provided for the signature and dated it. The employee must check one of the three boxes to show status in the United States.
- The most common acceptable documentation used to complete List B is a driver’s license. Be sure to specify the state in the United States from which the driver’s license was issued. It is acceptable to use an expired driver’s license.
- The employer’s representative who viewed the original documents must sign Section 2 (“Employer Review and Verification”), and print or type his or her name. Do not sign unless you have personally viewed all the documents.
Do not omit the name and address of the business in the employer’s certification block.
