I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form
A Notary Public can serve as an authorized representative to assist employers in completing Section 2, which involves physically examining and verifying the authenticity of the employee's identity and employment eligibility documents.
The notary's role is to review the original documents provided by the employee, compare them against the information provided in Section 1 of the I-9 form, and then complete the relevant portions of Section 2. The notary's certification on the form attests to the fact that they have examined the documents in the presence of the employee and found them to be genuine and reasonably related to the individual presenting them.
It's essential to note that while a notary can assist with the verification process, they cannot determine an individual's work eligibility or immigration status. That responsibility lies with the employer, and they must ensure they are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding employment verification. Additionally, notaries must follow the guidelines provided by USCIS and should not provide legal advice related to immigration matters.
