I9NOW's electronic document management solution reduces the amount of administrative work required with paper storage providing significant time and cost savings for employers.

I9NOW allows employees to securely enter and store their verification information from any location with an internet connection. Employers can verify and manage the forms in real time ensuring the information is correctly submitted and processed. Electronic document storage also allows for convenient and organized retrieval if a request is made by the U.S. government for official inspection or simply for re-verification purposes.

Advanced search capabilities deliver the ability to filter by any data set required by the I-9 form including location, date of hire or visa expiration date for foreign nationals with temporary residency.

I9NOW allows employers to take control of the employment verification process delivering increased efficiency along with accurate form completion.

Electronic storage of your I-9 employment eligibility forms on I9NOW is a complementary service provided by VISANOW. There are no additional costs associated with use of this service.

All U.S. employers are legally required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all employees through the use of the Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9). In addition, employers must maintain these records for three years after the date of hire or one year after termination. Employers can now choose to electronically store these forms experiencing cost savings, increased efficiency and greater convenience.

For more information regarding the electronic storage of Form I-9, visit the "Electronic Signature and Storage of the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form" on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement website.
