Add a $50-$150 service to your offerings that companies across the country are searching for right now.
As a professional Notary Public and Signing Agent, you’ve built a business on a foundation of trust, detail, and integrity. You are the expert clients rely on for their most important transactions.
You've mastered the loan signing process, and now you're looking for the next smart way to grow your business, add a stable revenue stream, and leverage the skills you already have.
What if you could add a service that:
Isn't tied to the ups and downs of the mortgage market?
Allows you to command professional fees of $50, $75, or even $150 for a simple 15-minute appointment?
Has a built-in, nationwide demand from corporate clients due to the permanent shift to remote work?
This isn't about replacing what you do. It's about adding a powerful, high-margin service that makes your business stronger and more profitable. Welcome to the world of I-9 Verification.




The shift to remote work has created a huge logistical challenge for companies across the United States. Federal law hasn't changed:
every single new employee must have their identity and work authorization documents physically inspected for the Form I-9 within three days of their start date.
Imagine you're an HR Director in New York. You just hired a new software developer who lives in your town. How do you physically inspect their passport?
This is the compliance nightmare facing thousands of companies every day. And they are desperately searching for a professional, reliable solution.
They are searching for a professional like you.
It's not about filling out a form. It's about what's at stake for the employer.
The U.S. government takes I-9 compliance very seriously. The employer—not the representative—is 100% liable for any mistakes.
And the penalties for errors are staggering:
Paperwork Violations: Fines range from $281 to $2,789 per violation.
Knowingly Hiring Violations: Fines can soar up to $27,894 per worker.
Criminal Penalties: A pattern of violations can even lead to imprisonment.
When a company hires you to complete a Form I-9, they aren't just paying for 15 minutes of your time. They are paying for peace of mind. They are paying for your expertise to shield them from tens of thousands of dollars in potential liability.
You are not just a form-filler; you are their risk mitigation partner. This is why you can command professional fees for a professional service.
This is where many notaries get stuck, and where our training provides the critical clarity you need to operate with confidence.
"Isn't this a notarial act? Can I legally do this?"
This is the most important distinction to understand: Completing a Form I-9 is NOT a notarial act.
You are acting as a designated Authorized Representative on behalf of the employer. You will NOT use your notary stamp or seal on the Form I-9. Your role is to physically examine the employee's documents, verify their identity, and accurately complete and sign Section 2 of the form as a representative of the company. This distinction is what allows you to perform this service and charge a professional fee, keeping you 100% compliant with your state's notary laws.
"But USCIS says any person can be a representative. Why would a company pay me?"
This is the "friend or neighbor" fallacy, and it's your single biggest competitive advantage.
Yes, an employer could ask their new remote hire to have a friend or neighbor complete the form.
But ask any HR professional: this is a compliance nightmare. An untrained person doesn't know the complex rules, what documents are acceptable, or how to spot signs of fraud. They make mistakes. And when they do, the employer is the one who faces the audit and the fines.
That's why smart companies don't take that risk. They seek out trained, insured, and professional representatives who understand the process and can do it right the first time. By completing this training, you immediately become the superior choice.
A Special Note for California Notaries: California law has specific requirements. A notary public may only complete Form I-9 if they are also qualified and bonded as an immigration consultant. Our training includes a special guide on how to navigate these rules

The apostille process is not a simple "fill-in-the-blank" task. It is a minefield of state-specific rules, federal regulations, and international treaties. For the average person, it is confusing, overwhelming, and fraught with risk. A single error can have devastating consequences.
Imagine having to make these phone calls:
To the hopeful couple, explaining that their international adoption is delayed for months because the notary in their home state used the wrong certificate wording, and the entire dossier was rejected.
To the frantic bride, telling her that her destination wedding in Italy is in jeopardy because her birth certificate was sent to the wrong government office for the apostille.
To the entrepreneur, revealing that their multi-million dollar international contract is void because the apostille was rejected due to an improper notarization.

No, USCIS allows any person to act as an Authorized Representative. However, this course is designed for notaries because your existing skills in identity verification, professionalism, and handling sensitive documents make you an ideal candidate. Companies prefer hiring notaries for this role due to the trust and expertise associated with your commission.
Yes. Because you are not performing a notarial act (you are not using your seal), you are not bound by notarial laws regarding this specific service. You are acting as a representative of the employer. The one major exception is California, which requires anyone completing immigration forms for a fee to be a bonded Immigration Consultant. Our course provides specific resources for California notaries.
Fees are set by you and the market. Based on research from notary forums and service provider websites, the typical fee for a single I-9 verification ranges from $50 to $150. Your earnings will depend on your marketing efforts and the client relationships you build. Just two appointments a week at $75 each would add $600 to your monthly income.
