Fact Sheet for Employers on Avoiding Form I-9 Violations

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations released a joint fact sheet for employers. The fact sheet discusses what employers should keep in mind if they use private-sector commercial or proprietary products to electronically complete, modify, or retain the Form I-9. Although the fact sheet refers to these products collectively as Form I-9 software programs, the information also applies to employers who use such programs to participate in E-Verify. The Form I-9 software programs discussed in this fact sheet do not include programs that the Department of Homeland Security directly oversees and administers, such as E-Verify.
