I-9 EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION | $15 EACH
In August 2014, the California Secretary of State’s Notary Public & Special Filings Section clarified with the National Notary Association that California Notaries who are not qualified and bonded as immigration consultants under the California Business and Professions Code Sections 22440-22449, may not complete or make the certification on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, even in a non-Notary Public capacity. The Secretary’s office considers the Form I-9 to be an immigration form. Any California Notary who is not an immigration consultant violates California Government Code Section 8223(c).
