Why you sign the I-9 on paper
USCIS says employers and employees using its fillable Form I-9 must “print and manually sign it rather than typing or electronically affixing a signature.” So the steps here don’t use Sign for the I-9.
An employer’s own electronic I-9 system that meets DHS standards can take an electronic signature. If your employer uses one, fill in the I-9 there. The rules are in can you sign Form I-9 electronically.

Questions
Is this the official USCIS Form I-9?
Yes. It is USCIS’s own PDF, Edition 01/20/25, copied from uscis.gov. We last checked it against uscis.gov on November 12, 2026.
Is the fillable I-9 free?
The form is free from USCIS. Typing into it and downloading it here costs $1.99, paid once when you download. You still print it and sign it by hand.
Will my I-9 still be fillable after I download it?
Yes. The form’s boxes stay fillable, with your answers in them, unless you tick “Lock the form’s answers” when you download. That option locks the form’s own boxes, so your answers in them become part of the page. A page where you used Blackout is saved as a picture, so its boxes stop being fillable.
Can I fill out an I-9 on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone’s browser, tap “Fill out the I-9 here”, then tap a box to type.
Is my information uploaded?
No. The form is filled in inside your browser, and what you type is never sent to us. Our server receives only the reference of your Stripe payment.
