Employer instructions, deadlines, and extra forms can vary by employer or hiring platform.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Form I-9 & Employment Verification Questions
Is Form I-9 notarized?
No. Form I-9 itself is not notarized. If an employer sends you to a notary, the notary is usually acting as the employer’s authorized representative for document review, not performing a notarization on Form I-9.
Do I need to have the original documents?
Yes. For a standard in-person I-9 appointment, the employee normally presents original acceptable and unexpired documents.
Can you tell me which I-9 documents to present?
No. The employee must choose which acceptable document or combination of documents to present from the List of Acceptable Documents for identification. We do not choose documents for the employee.
Can you stamp or seal Form I-9?
No. A notary seal is not placed on Form I-9 itself. If your employer included a separate affidavit or notarial certificate, that separate document may be handled differently.
Can my employer email instructions for the appointment?
Yes. That is common. Bring or forward the employer’s instructions or PDF packet so the appointment can be completed correctly.
Where do you meet for I-9 appointments?
We meet at most businesses and most public locations like coffee shops, copy shops, or the library. We also travel to hospitals or nursing homes.
Do you offer same-day notary service?
Often, yes. Same‑day availability depends on distance and existing appointments. The fastest way is to call/text for the soonest opening.
