The problem

Where I-9 compliance breaks down in paper-based processes.

Employees fill Section 1 incorrectly

The most common I-9 errors — wrong hire date, missing citizenship attestation, incomplete alien registration numbers — happen when employees fill a dense paper form without guidance.

Paper forms get lost between HR and hiring managers

Unsigned Section 1 forms left at a hiring manager's desk are a compliance liability.

Re-verification tracking is manual

Employees on time-limited work authorization require re-verification by their authorization expiration date. Tracking this manually is a compliance risk.

Three-day deadline creates pressure

Section 2 must be completed within 3 business days of the start date. Incomplete Section 1 forms arriving on day one create immediate pressure.

How it works

Section 1 complete before day one.

Upload the current I-9 form PDF

Upload the current version of USCIS Form I-9 or your organization's authorized form.

Map Section 1 fields to a guided interview

Each Section 1 field — name, address, DOB, SSN, citizenship status — maps to a clear, plain-language interview question.

3

Employee fills before their start date

Send the employee a unique link after their offer is accepted. They complete Section 1 on their phone or computer — the form auto-fills from their answers.

4

You receive Section 1 complete, signed, and dated

Download the pre-filled I-9 with Section 1 complete, the employee's OTP-verified signature, and a timestamped audit trail. Section 2 ready for your in-person document review.
