Looking to enable remote I-9 verification and make a few customizations? Keep reading to learn more!

From the company home page navigate to the Documents tab and select "View"
Make your way to Government Forms section and click on the ellipses button next to the Form I-9 Card. Select "Settings"
Next you'll be greeted with a page providing you with several customization options for your I-9.
Allowed I-9 Verifiers: Here you have two toggles you can turn off and on. If turned on, these toggles enable those options for the hiring admin to select inside the hiring workflow.
1. It does not mean you a required to do one of them. It simply unlocks the ability in the dropdown when hiring to determine who is going to verify the I-9.
2. ❗Note: USCIS does not specify who can be an authorized representative to verify an I-9. Some states (like CA) however have strict rules on who can verify an I-9. The company is liable for any violations of any federal or state requirements
Eligibility Doc Upload: This determines who is verifying the I-9 to upload copies of the eligibility documents. So whether that be a hiring admin or a third-party verifier. This option can be made Required, Optional, or Hidden.
I-9 Workflow Preview: A live workflow preview that will change as you customize your options.

If you enabled an option/s in Allowed I-9 Verifiers and you want to set one of them as a default instead of selecting one each time you hire, you can!
- Simply go to your hiring workflow template ---> Edit ---> Documents (hiring)---> Form I-9 ellipsis button ---> Edit Verifier --- > Select Verifier (sets as default).
If the I-9 is submitted by the employee but not finished you as the Full Access Admin can edit the verifier if you needed to make that change.
- Simply go to the employee's profile --- > expand documents ---> Form I-9 ellipsis button ---> Edit Verifier ---> make your changes
