I-9 compliance software automates the completion, storage, and management of Form I-9. Form I-9 is the federal document that employers in the United States must use to verify a new hire's eligibility to work. It is required for all full-time and part-time employees physically working in the United States, regardless of company headquarters location, except for contractors and those from staffing companies.
These solutions guide employees and HR staff through the form completion process, flag errors or incomplete sections, and maintain records in accordance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) retention requirements. I-9 compliance software is used by HR and compliance teams to reduce manual processing errors and maintain audit-ready documentation.
I-9 compliance is often provided alongside other HR compliance solutions. Products in these categories may also offer capabilities for Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance software.
To qualify for inclusion in the I-9 Compliance category, a product must:
Store completed I-9 forms in digital format with automated retention and version updates
Automate E-Verify submissions and track case resolution status
Validate document authenticity and flag form errors prior to submission
Support remote completion of Form I-9 and document upload for off-site verification
