I-9 Verification in Boston: Appointments for Employers & Employees
Updated: Oct 31
Need an in-person I-9 document review in Greater Boston? HR, employers and employees can request an appointment with Boston Notary Service. If you are arranging your own appointment for a remote employer, send the instructions your employer gave you.
For HR and employer coordinators
Provide your company contact, authorization for the representative, employee location, deadline and instructions for your paper or electronic workflow. Tell us how the completed information should be returned. We confirm the assigned process before the review.
Book directly as an employee or through HR
HR teams, employers and employees can contact us directly to arrange an in-person I-9 appointment. If your employer asks you to find a local representative, send us its instructions, HR contact and onboarding deadline. We confirm the employer’s authorization and workflow before completing the assigned document review.
What happens at the appointment
We act as the employer’s authorized representative for the assigned I-9 review. Form I-9 is not notarized and receives no notary seal. The employee chooses which acceptable documents to present under the USCIS instructions; the employer remains responsible for its I-9 process.
Details that help us schedule
Send the meeting address, preferred time, deadline and HR contact. Include the employer’s form or portal instructions when available. We can discuss availability while you gather the details; the employer’s authorization and workflow must be confirmed before the review.
After the review
We follow the agreed return instructions. Send any employer questions or correction requests back to the assigned HR contact so the next step is clear.
If HR is arranging the appointment
Send the employer contact, authorization, employee location, deadline and form or portal instructions. Identify the person who can answer process questions while the employee is with the representative. Confirm how completed information should be returned.
If the employee is arranging the appointment
You can contact us directly when your employer asks you to find a local representative. Share the employer’s message and deadline and ask about appointment availability. We confirm the employer’s authorization and workflow before completing the assigned review.
Choosing documents and preparing for the review
Follow the current USCIS Lists of Acceptable Documents and your employer’s instructions. The employee chooses which acceptable document or document combination to present. Tell us about portal access or unclear instructions before the visit so the employer can resolve them.
After the appointment
Use the employer’s approved return process and direct any requested corrections to the assigned HR contact. This appointment is not a hiring decision, immigration advice or a notarial act; no notary seal is added to Form I-9.
