What Is an I-9 Signing?

An I-9 signing refers to the service of verifying Form I-9 for employment eligibility. Employers in the United States use this form to confirm the identity and work authorization of individuals they have hired. All employers must complete this form for every person they hire, whether a citizen or noncitizen. Employees must present a series of acceptable documents to their employer as evidence of their employment authorization and identity verification.

Who Can Perform I-9 Verifications?

A notary is a professional specializing in identity verification, making them an ideal option to confirm I-9 forms. Many companies, therefore, hire these individuals to authenticate the forms of identification provided. Here are some of the services you can offer as a notary:
  • Identity verification: A notary is authorized and trained to confirm individuals' identities by checking their identification documents and comparing them to their physical appearance. 
  • Document authentication: They examine the documents an employee provides to assess whether they are genuine and related to the hired individual. As a notary, you can guarantee the form's validity and help employers comply with regulations.
  • Witnessing signatures: Notaries can witness the employee signing the I-9 form, assuring that the signature is genuine and belongs to the individual presenting the documents.

How Much Money Can You Make Performing I-9 Verifications?​

I-9 verifications provide a lucrative opportunity for notaries to expand their services and make additional income. As a notary, you can make between $30 and $50 for each I-9 verification service you offer. If you directly conduct I-9 signings through your business, you can make from $60 to $80 for each signing. There are also opportunities to make more money, such as charging a travel fee when you are traveling far to verify or deliver documents. 
​
The overall amount one can make will depend on several factors, such as:
  • Experience: The more experience you have verifying I-9s, the more you can charge.
  • Services offered: Notaries who offer additional services, such as preparing documents, can earn additional income.
  • Location: The fees you can charge will vary depending on the level of competition in your area.
