Completing a Remote Form I-9

This process should only be used if you are physically not located in Boston during the first three days of employment.

  • Disregard the electronic invitations to complete Section 1 of your I-9 online sent by onboard@bu.edu.
  • You will complete Section 1 of the I-9 on your own using a paper Form I-9.
  • Section 2 of the I-9 should be completed by a friend, family member, coworker, or notary on behalf of Boston University. If you use a notary, they should not provide a notary seal on your Form I-9.
  • This packet should only be used by US citizens, or permanent residents. Any other citizenship status should contact ISSO.
  • You will need a printer, as well as a scanner or copier, to complete this process.

 

Directions:

  • Complete Section 1 on your own, don’t forget to sign and date it!
