If a preparer and/or translator assists an employee in completing Section 1, that person must complete a Certification area on Supplement A, Preparer and/or Translator Certification for Section 1, located on Page 3 of Form I-9. There is no limit to the number of preparers and/or translators an employee may use. Each preparer and/or translator must complete and sign a separate Certification area.
When a preparer and/or translator is used, UNL’s HR professional obtains the individual’s name and email address and emails them the Supplement A DocuSign form to complete and sign electronically. The employee, HR professional, and the preparer/translator will receive a copy of the completed form. Alternatively, the form may be printed and completed by the individual, scanned, and returned to the HR professional.
Supplement A must be submitted to Payroll Services along with the employee’s I-9 so that they are retained together.
If the employee does not use a preparer or translator, employers are not required to provide or retain Supplement A.
