The I-9 Audit

Sale Price: $60.00 Original Price: $150.00

Before an inspection finds the gaps, find them yourself. Answer a short set of multiple-choice questions about how your business completes, checks, stores and corrects Form I-9. You’ll get a written report showing your risk level, the gaps to close, and the steps to take now. Every finding is tied to federal law, USCIS guidance or best practice.

What you will get:

  • Your risk level: High, Medium or Low

  • The specific gaps in how you complete, examine, store and correct I-9s

  • Whether each gap is required by federal law, USCIS guidance or best practice

  • 3 to 6 steps to fix them, with exactly how to do each one

  • A flag if your state has its own E-Verify law

  • What to avoid, and when to bring in employment or immigration counsel

  • Reviewed by an HR Professional before it’s sent to you

  • FREE: our Form I-9 Step-by-Step Guide and I-9 Online Resources Guide, a 10-page PDF you can download right after purchase. It covers how to complete the form on paper and online, which payroll and HR platforms support I-9 and E-Verify, and the official USCIS resources.

Most reports arrive within a few hours. Each one is reviewed by an HR professional before it’s sent, so please allow up to 1 business day.

What it does

Through a short, structured set of questions, The I-9 Audit reviews how your business completes, examines, stores, keeps and corrects Form I-9. Every answer is compared against federal law, USCIS guidance and best practice, so you see where your process falls short and what to fix first, before an inspection finds it.

What the tool evaluates

The I-9 Audit assesses the areas that matter most in an I-9 inspection, including:

  • When Section 1 and Section 2 are completed

  • Who fills in each section, and whether a preparer or translator is involved

  • How new hires choose their documents, and how those documents are examined

  • Remote hires and the DHS alternative procedure

  • Copies of documents, and where completed forms are stored

  • How long forms are kept, and whether they could be produced within 3 business days

  • Form edition, corrections and backdating

  • Reverification of expiring work authorization, and rehires

  • Your state’s E-Verify law, where one applies

  • Recent notices, complaints and changes such as acquisitions or staffing agencies

How it works

Based on your responses, you will receive an I-9 Audit report by email showing your risk level, the specific gaps in your process, and the steps to fix each one. Each gap is tagged as required by federal law, USCIS guidance or best practice.

Most reports arrive within a few hours. Each one is reviewed by an HR professional before it’s sent, so please allow up to 1 business day.

Your purchase also includes our free Form I-9 Step-by-Step Guide and I-9 Online Resources Guide, which you can download right after checkout.

This tool is especially useful when:

  • Different managers or locations complete I-9s in different ways

  • You hire remote employees

  • You are not sure every current employee has a completed I-9

  • You have never reviewed your I-9s, or you are not sure how long to keep them

  • You recently received a Notice of Inspection, a mismatch letter or a complaint

  • Your business has grown, merged, or started using a staffing agency

The I-9 Audit provides insight and risk awareness, not legal advice. Its assessment is based on the information you provide, and it does not review your actual forms. Final decisions always remain with the employer.

Why HRIS does not do this

Your HRIS or payroll system can collect an I-9 and store it. It does not tell you whether the form was completed on time, whether documents were requested the right way, or whether your records would hold up in an inspection.

The I-9 Audit examines the practices behind those forms.
