If you’re an employer of someone living or working in Texas or you’re an employee living or working in Texas that needs a federal I-9 work authorization form notarized in Texas, you only have two viable options to choose from.

One of our mobile Texas notaries for you (the employer or employee) will verify the identity of the employee with the USCIS approved list of identity documents (List A or B & C) that the employee will present to the mobile notary public at the time of there in person appointment.

Next after our Texas mobile public notary has verified the employee’s identity the notary public will sign their name in the Signature of Employer or Authorized Representative box on the Employment Eligibility Verification I-9 form and write in the words, “Authorized Representative” in the Title of Employer or Authorized Representative box and write that day’s date on the I9 work authorization form.

Our mobile notary public will then print their first and last name in the given first and last name boxes. Lastly, our mobile notary public will ask the employee when their first day of employment is and then right down that answer given to them on the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form.

One of our mobile notary publics will do everything outlined

in option one. Plus, they will notarize a separate I-9 authorized agent affidavit form that an employer can draw up for its employee or you can use the exact I9 form employee verification services affidavit that we’ve created that we’ll perform a notarization on.

Employers please note that your company can face federal fines ranging from $110 up to $1,100 per infraction for failing to comply with the federal I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form mandates. As well as being put on the radar of U.S Immigration and Customs (ICE) and being possibly subjected to random I-9 work authorization form audits and auditors.

If your company’s form I9 incompliance is judged to be willfully on purpose and are deemed severe violations penalties can be $6,500 per infraction up to $16,000 for knowingly hiring someone unauthorized to work in the United States.

Employers should always get an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form completed on every employee. Even if someone only works for one day for your company, you must have an I9 work authorization form on file on them. Always try to get Form I-9 completed on day one or several days before the person’s official company hire/start date.

Although the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form says you must collect the form within three days of hire, if the employee quits after day one (this happens) you’ll likely never get the I-9 form completed and your company will be out of federal compliance.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It performs many administrative functions formerly carried out by the former United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), which was part of the Department of Justice. 

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual, as they hire for employment in the United States. This includes U.S citizens and non-citizens.

Both employees and employers (or authorized representative of the employer) must complete the form. On the form, an employee must attest to his or her employment authorization. The employee must also present his or her employer with acceptable documents evidencing identity and employment authorization.

The employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity of the document (s). An employee presents to determine whether the document (s) reasonably appears to be genuine and to relate to the employee and record the document information on the Form I-9.
