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.
Thank you for your cooperation. We are excited to have you join the university community.
For more information or assistance please contact:
- Your supervisor or human resources representative listed in Employee Self-Service > "My Self Service" > "My HR Rep."
- I-9 Compliance Team at electronic-i9@uiowa.edu or 319-335-3558.
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.
