  • How should an I-9 form name field be completed when an employee has two legal last names?

Employees with two last names or a hyphenated last name must include both names in the last name field of the Form I-9. The Handbook for Employers (M-274) page 4 and Form I-9, page 1, section 1 provides specific instructions on completing the last name field on the Form I-9. If an employee enters two last names in Section 1, but presents a document that only displays one of those last names, the document he or she presents for Section 2 is acceptable as long as you are satisfied that the document appears genuine and relates to the employee.
