The I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form is a document used by employers in the United States to verify the identity and employment eligibility of individuals hired for employment. The form is mandated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and is required to be completed for every new employee, including both U.S. citizens and noncitizens.

According to the USCIS Handbook for Employers, if the employer is unable to meet with the employee to execute the form, they “may designate someone to fill out Forms I-9 for you, such as a personnel officer, foreman, agent, or anyone else acting on your behalf, such as a notary public.”

This verification is typically required for various purposes, such as vehicle registration, title transfers, or out-of-state vehicle inspections.

During the VIN verification, Ink-Bonded Notary will physically inspect the vehicle and compare the VIN on the vehicle to the VIN listed on the related documents, such as the title or registration. We will ensure that the VIN matches and is correctly recorded.
