I-9 Employment Verification
Hiring a remote employee in the Gig Harbor or Tacoma area? Federal law requires in-person document verification within 3 business days of their start date. We meet your new hire, verify their identity and work authorization documents, complete Section 2 of the I-9, and get you compliant — fast.
How It Works
When you hire a remote employee, the federal I-9 form requires someone to physically examine the new hire's identity and work authorization documents in person. As your authorized representative, we handle that for you.
We meet your new employee at a convenient location — their home, a coffee shop, your local office, wherever works. We examine their documents (passport, driver's license, Social Security card, etc.) against the USCIS Lists A, B, and C. We complete Section 2 of the I-9 form and return the completed form to you. The entire process takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
This service is essential for any company hiring employees who work remotely in Pierce or Kitsap County. Staffing agencies, tech companies with distributed teams, and HR departments rely on local authorized representatives to stay compliant with federal employment law.

I-9 Verification FAQ
Do I need a notary for I-9 verification?
No — an I-9 verification does not require a notary public. Any person can serve as an authorized representative designated by the employer. However, using a professional service like ours ensures the form is completed accurately and on time, reducing the risk of costly compliance errors. I-9 fines range from $252 to $2,507 per form for first offenses.
How quickly can you complete a verification?
Same-day service is available for most requests. Federal law requires I-9 completion within 3 business days of the employee's start date. We typically schedule within 24 hours of your request and can accommodate urgent same-day needs.
What documents does the employee need to bring?
The employee chooses documents from the USCIS Lists A, B, and C. List A documents (like a U.S. passport) prove both identity and work authorization. Otherwise, the employee needs one List B document (like a driver's license) plus one List C document (like a Social Security card). We cannot specify which documents the employee must present.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes. For companies needing regular verifications (3 or more per month), we offer discounted per-verification rates. Contact us to discuss a volume arrangement that works for your hiring needs.
Can you verify multiple employees at once?
Absolutely. If you are onboarding several employees in the area, we can schedule group verification sessions at a single location. This is the most efficient option for staffing agencies and companies with batch hiring.
