Can the I-9 be completed entirely electronically?

Yes per ICE guidance, with certain integrity controls (audit trail, tamper-evident storage). AttachKit produces a digital I-9; you're responsible for storing it per DHS rules (3 years after hire or 1 year after termination, whichever is longer).

What documents do I show for Section 2?

List A (single doc proving identity + work auth — passport, Green Card) OR one from List B (identity — driver's license) + one from List C (work auth — SS card, birth cert). See the USCIS M-274 handbook for the full list.

E-Verify is an additional electronic verification system run by USCIS. It's mandatory for federal contractors and some state employers; voluntary otherwise. AttachKit handles the I-9 itself; E-Verify is a separate web portal.

Fill Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility) online — free

Form I-9 verifies that every new US employee is authorized to work. Section 1 is filled by the employee on or before day one; Section 2 by the employer within 3 business days. AttachKit fills both sides.

The work happens in your browser — open DevTools → Network and watch: the file is never uploaded to do it.

Who needs it: Every new US employee (Section 1). Every US employer (Section 2). Federal contractors using E-Verify also use the I-9.
