What it is

First Advantage Form I-9 and E-Verify Services supports U.S. employment eligibility onboarding through electronic Form I-9 and E-Verify workflows. Employees can complete Section 1 electronically, while employers or assigned verifiers complete Section 2. The forms validate entries, flag incorrect data, and identify unanswered questions with real-time guidance. The service supports E-Verify case management and automatic case submission when applicable. Form I-9 records and case information are stored in a centralized First Advantage cloud system with retention and purging management; each Form I-9 is tracked from creation to provide a chain of custody and audit trail. Section 2 may be completed by a company representative, employee-selected verifier, verifier network, or notary network. Company representatives and employee-selected verifiers have no additional cost, while network use carries an additional charge. Eligible I-9 clients who also use E-Verify can use virtual document review. The company says remote verification can take 5–10 minutes and complies with DHS and USCIS requirements. The service is mobile responsive, with pricing available by contacting First Advantage.
