I-9 Verification Process

All new employees at the University of Denver, including faculty, staff and student employees, are required by law to complete these steps on or before their first day of employment:

I-9 Form Section 1

  • Enter personal information and upload required documentation through HireRight after background check is complete.

I-9 Form Section 2

  • Virtual or in-person verification of your required documentation by Employment Services or your supervisor.
  • Any employee that does not complete this will not be able to start work until their verification has been completed. (This is separate from the I-9 Section 1 form which is completed through HireRight.)
  • Please provide the acceptable documentation (i.e. Passport, State Driver’s License, Social Security Card, etc.) If you have questions about the I-9 verification process or the acceptable documents please reach out to Employment Services.
  • If you are a returning employee, who has completed an I-9 verification before, you may need to re-verify. Please reach out to the Employment Services Team to confirm your I-9 verification status.
