Key Points for Completing Form I-9

Only use I-9 forms that are copied front and back and have an expiration date of 08/31/12 in the upper right hand corner.

• Section 1. Employee Information and Verification.
  • Have the employee complete Section 1 on or before the first day of employment.
  • Be sure the Citizenship field is completed.
  • Social Security Number is not a required field.
• Section 2. Employer Review and Verification.
  • Accept only original documents, not photocopies or faxes.
  • Fill out the documentation section completely. Make sure all expiration dates and document numbers are completed.
  • Under Certification, be sure to enter the employment start date. The Compliance Officer must fully complete the Signature and Address portion of Form I-9, found in Section 2.

Once Form I-9 has been completed, the original should be forwarded to Student Payroll for scanning and digital storage.

Do not keep copies of identification documents.
