I-9 Section 1

I9 – (2026)

Form I-9 — Employment Eligibility Verification (Section 1)

Federal law requires all U.S. employers to verify the identity and work authorization of every new hire using Form I-9. You are completing Section 1 below — the portion of the form completed by the employee.

Before You Begin

Please review the official USCIS Form I-9 Instructions (opens in a new tab).
Complete every required field. Do not leave fields blank — enter “N/A” if a field does not apply to you.
Use your full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identification.
Knowingly providing false information on Form I-9 is a federal crime punishable by fines and imprisonment.

What Happens After You Submit

Your completed Section 1 will be saved and stored securely as part of your hiring record.
Madalyn Whitsett (HR) will contact you to schedule Section 2, where your identity and work authorization documents will be verified — either in person at our corporate office, or via a live video call under DHS’s E-Verify alternative procedure.
Section 2 must be completed within 3 business days of your first day of work.
Have your acceptable identification documents ready (see the list below).
