California Notary News I-9 Forms: What Notaries Need To Know

I-9 Forms: What Notaries Need To Know By Patti Wulfestieg on August 13, 2014 in Alternate Income Opportunities In the current global workforce, hiring employees remotely is a growing trend. And the federal government is auditing more businesses to make sure they are complying with the requirements to complete I-9 forms for every employee.Consequently, more employers are asking prospective remote employees to find a Notary to help complete the forms. Here is some basic information to help Notaries who are asked to deal with an I-9 form.What Is The I-9 Form?The I-9 form, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) verifies the identity and employment eligibility for employees hired in the U.S. The form is to be completed by both the employee and the employer (or authorized representative). As part of the process, the employee must present documents verifying his or her eligibility to work in the U.S., and the employer (or authorized representative) must physically examine these documents.According to the USCIS Handbook for Employers, employers “may designate someone to fill out Forms I-9 for you, such as a personnel officer, foreman, agent, or anyone else acting on your behalf, such as a notary public.”Do I-9 Forms Require Notarization?As of 2013, there is no certificate wording included in the I-9 form, nor is a Notary asked to affix his or her seal to the form, so the answer is no. The representative is simply asked to certify that the appropriate documents were presented (as explained in Section 2 of the I-9 form). The employer then has three days to complete the I-9 form.Though the form itself does not require notarization, there are times when an employer will present a new employee with an email instructing him or her to take the form to a Notary for completion. In these cases, the Notary is advised to ask the signer for a copy of the email, which he or she can then keep, verifying that you acted within the employer’s request.If instructions do not accompany the I-9 form, and the employee is not able to contact the employer, then there is no law prohibiting the Notary from completing the form — as long as it is clear the Notary is acting as an Authorized Representative, and not as a Notary.UPDATE 8-25-14: Restrictions For California Notaries In August 2014, the California Secretary of State’s Notary Public&Special; Filings Section clarified with the NNA that California Notaries who are not qualified and bonded as immigration consultants under the Business and Professions Code Sections 22440-22449, may not complete or make the certification on Form I-9, even in a non-notarial capacity. The Secretary’s office considers Form I-9 to be an immigration form. Any California Notary who is not an immigration consultant violates Government Code Section 8223(c).The California Secretary of State's office has told the NNA that separate background checks are required for California Notary Public commission applicants who also wish to register as immigration consultants in the state. Keeping A RecordWhile this is not a notarial act, the Notary should record the transaction (perhaps in a spreadsheet), including the name of the employee, the name of the company requesting the completion of Section 2, and the date you completed the document transaction.Remember, do not use your journal of notarial acts to keep the record of I-9 transactions because they are not notarizations.Can The Notary Charge For I-9s?If you are acting as an authorized representative, then handling the I-9 form would not be considered a notarial act, and therefore not within the scope of state mandated fees for performing notarial services. As with any non-notarial services provided, the Notary is free to determine the fee for providing the service of signing the I-9 form.Patti Wulfestieg is a Compliance Specialist at the National Notary Association.Update for California Notaries, 9-3-14:We’ve received many questions about the California Secretary of State’s recent statement that CA Notaries should not complete or make certifications on a Form I-9, even in a non-notarial capacity, if the Notary is not a qualified and bonded immigration consultant in California. At this time, we have not received any additional direction on this issue from the Secretary of State’s office other than what was shared with the NNA in August. We will let our Notaries know if we receive any updates from the CA Secretary of State’s office.Employees who work with I-9 forms and hold a CA Notary commission may wish to consult with a qualified http://www.nationalnotary.org/notary-bulletin/blog/2014/08/i-9-forms-notaries-need-to-know ...read more
