There are now three ways for employees to complete the Form I-9.
- Print it and fill it out manually.
- Fill it out electronically, then print and sign it.
- Use an electronic 1-9 vendor.
All employers are required to maintain completed Form 1-9’s for three years after the date of hire or on year after date the employment ended, whichever is later.
It is recommended that you maintain all Form I-9’s in one location outside of employee personnel files in case
