New University Employees

Welcome to the University of Iowa!

As you begin your employment journey, you will be required to complete the federal Form I-9 within three business days of your first day at work, and verify your employment eligibility through E-Verify. Your HR representative will reach out to you to coordinate this process. Here is a list of Form I-9 acceptable documents.

Employee Instructions to complete Section 1 of the Form I-9. Only complete this process if prompted by your supervisor or HR.

Thank you for your cooperation. We are excited to have you join the university community.

For more information or assistance please contact:

University HR and Supervisors

The UI uses I-9 Express to complete and submit I-9s and E-Verify, when required. Paper copies of Form I-9 are not acceptable.

For questions about Form I-9, please consult the USCIS Handbook for Employers.

Please Note: Federal law requires that an employee not work more than three days until and unless a completed I-9 form is on file, and an E-Verify case has been created.

To request access to the I-9 Resources SharePoint for FAQs and resources, please email electronic-i9@uiowa.edu.
