Form I-9

Employment Eligibility Verification

Federal law and Cornell University require all new employees, including student employees, to complete an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form.

  • The I-9 form establishes identity and eligibility to work in the U.S.
  • The I-9 form must be completed BEFORE new employees start working.
  • ORIGINAL documentation that establishes identity and employment eligibility must be reviewed by the hiring department.
