How it works

Good to know

Who it helps

Employees

If you're starting a job with an employer that isn't nearby, we meet you, look at your original documents, and complete the employer's part of the form as your employer instructs, so you don't have to travel to their office.

Employers

When a new hire works far from your office, we act as your authorized representative: we examine the employee's original documents in person and complete Section 2 following your instructions. You stay responsible for the Form I-9.

Where we can meet

Anywhere in the Charlotte metro area where the employee can bring their original documents.

The employee's home

Often the easiest: we come to the new employee at a time that suits them.

Offices and businesses

A coworking space, a client site, or another business location.

Public places and hotels

A library, coffee shop, or hotel lobby, for example when the employee is new to the area.

Airports

In a public area, when the employee is traveling for the new job.

Paper or electronic Form I-9

Paper Form I-9

We complete the employer section on the paper form and return it the way the employer asks: in person, by scan, or by shipping.

Electronic Form I-9

Many employers use an online I-9 system. With the access the employer gives us for that appointment, we complete the employer section in their system after examining the documents in person.

Extra services we can add

Printing

The employer can send us the form, and we bring it printed.

Scanning

We scan the completed form so the employer receives it right away.

Shipping

We can ship the original completed form to the employer.

Frequently asked questions

Who asks for this service?

Usually the employer, who sends instructions. A new employee can also contact us with their employer's instructions.

Which documents should the employee bring?

The employee chooses from the lists of acceptable documents on Form I-9. We can't choose for them, and originals are needed.

Where does the appointment happen?

We can meet the new employee at home, at a public place, or another location in the Charlotte metro area.

Is the form notarized?

No. An I-9 verification isn't a notarization, and the form doesn't get a notary seal.

How much does it cost?

A non-notarial service, quoted before the appointment.
