Welcome to Tufts!
Completing your I-9 is a critical, required step in your on-boarding, and we look forward to assisting you.
There are two steps to completing your I-9:
- Complete Section 1 of your I-9 online on eServe (Employee Self Service). Log into eServe and complete the New Hire I-9 steps, prior to your first day, ideally earlier. After you have completed Section 1 in eServe, you will receive an email with a link to choose between two options for step 2, the in-person verification.
- Have your I- 9 documents verified in-person. At Tufts, you have two options for in-person verification within 3 business days of your employment at Tufts. This cannot be completed prior to your start date.
A) Inspection of documents by a Tufts Support Services Representative: You will need to make an appointment. Click on the campus where you would like I-9 Documents verified (this does not need to be the campus you are working on). We cannot guarantee walk-in appointments will be accommodated at this time, to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

B) Inspection of documents by a witness of your choosing using “I-9 Everywhere”. This allows you to select an individual in your network to view your I-9 documents in person. You do not need to come to campus. This option is open to all employees, whether they are working on a Tufts campus or fully remote. For a brief overview of the I-9 Everywhere process, please watch this video:
