As schools and units return to campus, they should have a Harvard I-9 Administrator complete section 2 and review the original documents in person. This reduces the possibility of incomplete or inaccurate I-9s and is considered a strongly preferred best practice.

Please also remember the following when reviewing paper Form I-9s:

• Be sure you are using the most up-do-date Form I-9 (with a 10/31/2022 expiration date)
• See From I-9 USCIS or download a Harvard Form I-9 Packet
• Be sure the employee has signed Section 1 of the Form I-9
• Double check that the SSN is correct and legible
• Be sure the employee selects an option in the Preparer/Translator section
• Be sure the Section 2 completer enters the first day of employment in the certification section
