Companies with remote employees face a new conundrum: how to continue hiring remotely when employees are required to complete their I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification in-person per DHS’s revised policy.
It can be logistically and economically challenging to bring every New Hire into a company office where they can complete their I-9 in-person with the company’s HR team. And it is, of course, also an inconvenience for these already overburdened HR teams.
But notably, DHS allows Authorized Representatives to complete I-9s in-person with New Hires, meaning that companies are essentially permitted to outsource employment eligibility verification I-9s.
TrendSource serves as an Authorized Representative to help companies comply with employment eligibility law and complete I-9s with New Hires in-person.
TrendSource Remote I-9 Verifications Fulfill I-9 In Person Requirements
Not all Authorized Representatives are created equally, however. Some companies will simply pass you to a local notary or even task the New Hire with finding their own.
TrendSource, on the other hand, relies on its proprietary, nationwide network of Field Agents. Wherever a New Hire resides, TrendSource has a Field Agent nearby, ready to meet up and complete Section 2 of Form I-9 in-person.
Authorized Representatives for I-9s should be professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and TrendSource Field Agents check all these boxes and more. New Hires experience TrendSource Remote I-9 Verifications as convenient and reliable.

TrendSource Remote I-9 Verifications Keep It Entirely In-System
With DHS renewing the in-person requirements for I-9s, companies must figure out how to move forward with remote hiring. Authorized representatives are the obvious answer, with companies outsourcing to compliance specialists like TrendSource to complete their I-9s with New Hires, fulfilling the in-person requirements.
While some competitors will subcontract with notaries and other out-of-system options, TrendSource keeps it all in-house, utilizing its proprietary database of Field Agents to complete I-9s in person.
That’s the TrendSource difference.
