Frequently asked questions

Can you complete an I-9 form online?+

Yes — you can type your answers directly into the fillable Form I-9 with iFillPDF, right in your browser. The employee completes Section 1 and the employer completes Section 2. Note that the official USCIS fillable PDF does not meet DHS standards for electronic signatures, so after filling it online you must print the form and sign it by hand, unless your employer uses a dedicated DHS-compliant electronic I-9 system.

Can I fill out my own I-9?+

You complete Section 1 yourself — your personal details and your attestation of work authorization — on or before your first day of employment. You cannot complete or attest to Section 2 for yourself. That is the employer's responsibility: they examine your documents and complete Section 2 within three business days of your start date.

Where do I file or send Form I-9?+

Nowhere. Unlike most government forms, Form I-9 is never filed with USCIS or ICE. Your employer retains the completed form on file and must make it available for inspection if requested by the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor, or Department of Justice.

Is filling out the I-9 free?+

Yes. Form I-9 is a free USCIS form with no filing fee, and you can fill it out online with iFillPDF without paying or creating an account. You only pay if you later choose a premium feature, but completing and downloading the form itself is free.

What documents do I need to complete Form I-9?+

You must prove both your identity and your authorization to work. Present either one document from List A (such as a U.S. passport or Permanent Resident Card) OR one document from List B (identity, such as a driver's license) plus one from List C (work authorization, such as an unrestricted Social Security card). Photocopies are generally not accepted.

How long must an employer keep Form I-9?+

Employers must retain each completed Form I-9 for three years after the employee's date of hire, or one year after employment ends — whichever date is later. Employers may not keep the employee's identity or work-authorization documents themselves unless a remote review required it.

Which version of Form I-9 should I use?+

Use the current USCIS Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Rev. 08/01/23, valid through 07/31/2026). Upload the official PDF to iFillPDF and you will always be filling the correct, latest edition rather than an outdated copy.
