Form attestation

Narrator: Employers must complete Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of new employees, both U.S. citizens and non-citizens. Employees complete Section 1 and employers complete Sections 2 and 3. This video shows how employees fill out Section 1 when using a computer to complete a Form I-9 obtained from the USCIS website. First, employers must ensure that employees have access to the form, instructions, and Lists of Acceptable Documents. Employers must either provide employees with printed copies or ensure employees have access to them online. Anyone can access the instructions from the Form I-9 web page. When connected to the Internet, you can access these instructions directly from the Form I-9 by clicking the instructions button at the top of each page. Even without Internet access, employers and employees using a computer can move the cursor over fields or click on the question marks to see instructions. Let's see how employees must complete Section 1. Employees must complete Section 1 on or before their first day of employment. They first enter their biographical information. Employees only need to provide their Social Security number if their employer uses E-Verify. Entering an e-mail address and telephone number are optional, but employees must enter "N/A" if they choose to skip those fields. Next, employees enter their citizenship or immigration status by checking one of the boxes. Once a selection is made, fields related to a different selection will contain "N/A." Lawful permanent residents must enter their A-Number or USCIS Number, then select "Alien Number" or "USCIS Number" from the drop-down menu. Aliens authorized to work must enter either their A-Number, I-94 number, or foreign passport number, as well as the date their work authorization expires. If employees enter a foreign passport number, they also must choose the country that issued the passport from the drop-down menu. Employees must check the first box if they don't use a preparer or translator. After that option is selected, all fields in the section are locked. Employees may use a preparer or a translator to help them complete the form. The preparer or translator must check the second box in this section, then choose from the drop-down menu the number of preparers and translators used. If the employee uses more than one preparer or translator, the form generates an extra page for them to enter their information. If completing the form on paper, extra preparers and translators must enter their information on an additional sheet that can be downloaded from the Form I-9 web page. Once the employee completes all the fields and presses "Click to finish," fields completed incorrectly turn red and are highlighted with a bold box. The form also provides pop-up messages with instructions on how to resolve problems. You may edit each field separately or clear all fields by clicking "Start Over." The print button at the top of the page activates your computer's print function. Employees should only print page one and extra pages with multiple preparers' or translators'...
