Form I-9 Employment Verification

Form I-9 Compliance provides the newest, most efficient methods of responding to the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act and enables employers to easily conduct legal right to work Form I-9 employment verifications on new employees.

What will the I-9 search tell me?

Why is the I - 9 the best identity search available?
Many documents can be used to show identity and work eligibility, but the I-9 is the only fool-proof way to be sure the information you are getting is accurate.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) legally mandates that U.S. employers verify the employment eligibility status of newly-hired employees and makes it unlawful for employers to knowingly hire or continue to employ unauthorized workers. With the passage of the IRCA, founders of Form I-9 Compliance worked closely with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to develop the original Form I-9 and they have been providing I-9 consulting services since. Our knowledge and expertise of Form I-9 employment verifications is unrivaled.
