REMOTE I-9 FAQ

An Authorized Representative acts on behalf of the employer to sign off on identity verification documents for Form I-9. This provision in the Form I-9 rules can be viewed in full on the USCIS website and allows the employer to designate anyone (except the new hire themselves) to review the I-9 form and identity documents, verify their authenticity to the best of their ability, and completeSection 2 of the certification.

Can an Authorized Representative really be ANYONE?Yes! The Department of Homeland Security does not require the Authorized Representative to have any particular qualifications, licensing, knowledge, experience or affiliation with the employer. That being said, we recognize your Organization may want to tighten this definition. So as part of our solution you can put forward custom requirements for who can act as an Authorized Representative for your Form I-9s.

The DHS policy is to never provide an official “stamp of approval” on a specific technology solution. However, we have meticulously designed our solution within DHS’s electronic I-9 specifications.
