What does my Authorized Representative need to do in Section 2 of Form I-9?

Last updated: August 2, 2026

Applies to: US employees (W-2).

Summary: Your authorized representative opens the secure link we email them, reviews your original documents, enters the details, uploads a clear photo, and submits Section 2.

Once your authorized representative gets the email invitation, they:

  1. Open the secure link in the email and log in to access Section 2.

  2. Review your documents with you — examining your original identity and work-authorization documents to confirm they're genuine (in person, or via a guided video call with our team if needed).

  3. Enter the document details exactly as they appear on your IDs.

  4. Upload a clear photo of the document(s).

  5. Submit the form, entering "Authorized Representative" in the designated field.

Because Ascen requires the I-9 done before your first day of work, have them complete this promptly. If they have trouble opening the link or completing the form, email support@ascen.com.

Official reference: Form I-9 (USCIS).
