How to complete Supplement A: Preparers and Translators

['I-9s']
How to complete Supplement A: Preparers and Translators
  • Supplement A is completed when employees have assistance completing the form.
  • Supplement A is also used when translators assist with the completion of the Form I-9.
  • The preparer/translator section used to be on the Form I-9, but was moved to a separate supplement in the August 1, 2023, version of the form.

Preparer and/or Translator Certification: If the employee cannot complete Section 1 without assistance or if the Form I-9 needs to be translated, someone qualified may assist.

The employee still must sign (or mark) the form in the “Signature of Employee” field and the employee is still responsible for the accuracy of the information provided in Section 1. The preparer or translator must certify that the employee was assisted by completing Supplement A, for preparers and/or translators.

This standalone supplement was introduced in when the form was updated in August 2023. Before this, the Preparer and/or translator Certification area was part of Section 1 of the Form I-9.

In the case that an employee requires multiple preparers and/or translators, each subsequent preparers/translators must complete a separate supplement. Employers may attach additional supplement sheets to the Form I-9 when necessary.
