# I-9 Verification
## As part of your onboarding, PG makes sure you’re covered through the classic federal employment verification form. That’s right, the I-9.
**Section 1:**
Good news! Section 1 of your I-9 is super easy! Section 1 of your I-9 will be included in your Bullhorn Onboarding packet to complete.
Once you complete Section 1, you will need to connect with your **Authorized Agent**. Your Agent will receive an email from Able **alerts@ableteams.com** to complete Section 2 of the I-9. Once your Agent gets into Section 2, they will be asked to upload pictures of your IDs, verifying your document numbers and expiration dates. **Please ensure the pictures you upload are legible (no corners cut off, no information is covered, no glares on the picture or blurry imaging).**
**Watch our instructional video below for a step-by-step tutorial:**
---
**Section 2:**
You’ll need to get together with your Authorized Agent. As a reminder, you can use any of the following:
- Manager/Supervisor
- Populus Group Representative
- Friend
- Family
- Neighbor
- Roommate
- Notary
*Please contact your OBC if your Authorized Agent has not received an email from Bullhorn/Able.*
How will your Authorized Agent be helping you? The two of you will fill out Section 2 of the I-9 together! Don’t forget to bring your IDs! You will want to present your IDs to your agent and they will fill out this section using your ID information.
What qualifies as a valid ID? Here is a[**list of acceptable IDs.**](https://help.populusgroup.com/hubfs/I9%20Verification%20IDs.pdf?hsLang=en)
**Please keep in mind this must be completed no later than 3 days from your start date.** However, completing this form before your start date ensures completion of your onboarding process and eliminates follow-up once you are on assignment.
*Failure to complete Section 2 of your I-9 by the deadline can result in being pulled from the assignment.*
**Please ensure you provide a copy of your identification in your Bullhorn Onboarding packet if you haven't done so already!**
