All employers must complete and retain Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, for every person they hire for employment after Nov. 6, 1986, in the U.S. as long as the person works for pay or other type of payment.

In the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), employers have had to complete Form I-9 CNMI for every employee hired for employment in the CNMI from Nov. 28, 2009 to Nov. 27, 2011. The standard Form I-9 must be used for employees hired on or after Nov. 28, 2011.

Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification consists of three sections:

• Section One: Employee Information and Attestation
  Completed by employees
• Section Two: Employer or Authorized Representative Review and Verification
  Completed by employers
• Section Three: Reverification and Rehires
  Completed by employers for employees who are rehired or whose employment authorization requires reverification.
