I-9 stands for Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9), a human resources abbreviation.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services form every US employer must complete for each new hire to verify identity and authorization to work, regardless of citizenship. The employee completes Section 1 by the first day of work, and the employer examines documents and completes Section 2 within three business days.
Example: Bring your passport, or your driver's license and Social Security card, for the I-9.
Usage notes
Required since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Acceptable documents come from List A, or one each from Lists B and C. Employers must keep the form for three years after hire or one year after employment ends, whichever is later, and may not demand specific documents. E-Verify is a separate online system that some employers must also use.
