All U.S. employers are required to complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the U.S., including foreign nationals, legal permanent residents and U.S. citizens.  This form is used as a means to ensure the identity of each individual and that they are legally authorized to work in the U.S.

Many software tools are available for employers to complete Form I-9 and verify social security numbers online utilizing the E-Verify system.

Pearl Law Group has extensive FAQs and other information available regarding E-Verify, including in-depth guides to registering for and using the E-Verify system. Please contact us at to request more information on the E-Verify.
