Instructions:
Please use this form to request a Remote I-9.
To ensure the Remote I-9 service is completed on time, it is recommended you request remote I-9 service two weeks prior to the employee start date.
Federal law requires that an in-person meeting must occur in order to complete an I-9. This meeting is required for all I-9’s including those for remote employees. The remote I-9 process does NOT remove the federal requirement of meeting in-person to complete the I-9.
The Remote I-9 process is only available in situations where an employee is not near a University of Michigan campus or facility. The employee must be working outside of driving distance from one of the University of Michigan campuses.
Before submitting the remote I-9 request form:
- Hiring Departments must submit the request on behalf of the employee. Employees should not submit a request themselves, these cannot be processed.
- The employee’s background check (if applicable) must be complete.
- The employee’s start date must be at least 2 weeks (but not more than a month) from the day of submitting a request.
