Federal I-9

The Federal I-9 Form is the official Employment Eligibility Verification document.  This form must be completed online via MaineStreet → Employee Self-Service → Personal Details → Form I-9. Once the first portion of the I-9 has been completed online by the student they will then need to come to the Office of Student Employment so that we can verify their documents.

Who needs to complete this document?

  • All new, first-time employees of the University of Maine
  • Students who have not worked for the University in the past 12 months

Students needing to complete the Federal I-9 Form must provide official documents proving identity and employment authorization. For a complete list of acceptable documentation, check the list of acceptable documents, also located on page nine of the Federal I-9 Form.

The Federal I-9 Form MUST be completed within 3 business days of the student’s first day of employment. If an I-9 is not completed for a student within 3 business days of beginning work, they will be required to STOP working until all required paperwork is completed. Reminders for those missing paperwork will be sent to both the supervisor and newly hired student.
