Why NotaryPrints

A local I-9 representative when HR cannot be in Tampa

This service is designed for employers, staffing agencies and remote teams that need a reliable person in Tampa to follow their I-9 instructions. The employer—not the representative—controls the process and remains responsible for compliance.

Mobile document inspection

We meet the employee at an agreed Tampa Bay location and review the original documents presented for the employer-authorized I-9 process.

Employer workflow support

We can follow paper, electronic or third-party platform instructions supplied by the employer or HR team.

Clear role separation

For Form I-9, a notary serving as the employer’s authorized representative is not performing a notarial act and does not place a notary seal on the form.

Frequently asked questions

I-9 Verification Tampa — FAQs

Can a notary complete Form I-9 for a remote employee?

An employer may designate a notary public as its authorized representative where permissible, but the person is acting as the employer’s representative—not as a notary. The I-9 is not notarized and no notary seal is placed on the form.

Who chooses which identity or work-authorization documents the employee presents?

The employee chooses which acceptable documents to present from the Form I-9 Lists of Acceptable Documents. The authorized representative should not require a specific document when another acceptable option is available.

Does the employer need to authorize NotaryPrints?

Yes. We need clear employer or HR authorization and instructions because the authorized representative is completing employer duties on the employer’s behalf.

Can you use an employer’s electronic I-9 platform?

Often yes, when the employer provides the required access, workflow and instructions. Platform requirements vary, so they should be confirmed before the appointment.

Can the employee complete Section 2 for themselves?

No. Employees cannot act as the authorized representative for their own Form I-9.
