NIST benchmarks the Innovatrics algorithm at 99.998% face match accuracy, with liveness detection. A photo of a photo does not pass. Neither does a borrowed document.

How ZipID Works

Four steps. No prior I-9 experience required by either the employer or the new hire.

1

Invite your new hire

Enter a name and an email address. ZipID sends the invitation and tracks it from there.

2

They complete Section 1

A guided workflow walks the employee through Section 1 and the acceptable document list on their own phone. OCR reads the ID and fills the form, and they confirm the data before it lands.

3

Identity is verified

A live face match against the photo on the presented document, with liveness and synthetic image screening. The result is a confidence score, not a pass or a fail.

4

You countersign

Review, complete Section 2, and the finished record is stored with a full audit trail behind it.

Remote and Distributed Hiring

The hardest part of a remote I-9 has never been the paperwork. It is proving that the person holding the document is the person you hired.

What usually happens

  • You ask the new hire to find an authorized representative, often a notary, a friend, or a manager two states away.
  • That person inspects documents they have never been trained to inspect.
  • Your company carries the liability for their judgment.
  • The start date slips while everyone coordinates.

What happens with ZipID

  • The new hire completes their portion from their own phone, wherever they are.
  • Biometric face match with liveness detection replaces the untrained eye.
  • No third party enters the process, so no third-party liability enters with them.
  • The process runs in minutes, not days.

ZipID is a technology platform, not a law firm. Employers remain responsible for their own I-9 obligations.

E-Verify Checks the Numbers. ZipID Checks the Person.

The two are not the same thing, and the difference is where employer liability actually lives.

E-Verify compares the information on a completed Form I-9 against federal records and returns an answer about whether that identity is authorized to work. It is a records check, and it is a good one.

What it does not do, and was never designed to do, is confirm that the person who handed you the documents is the person those records describe. An authentic Social Security number belonging to someone else will clear E-Verify. So will a real document presented by the wrong face.

That is the gap ZipID closes, and it sits upstream of E-Verify rather than replacing it. A live biometric face match against the presented document, with liveness detection, before the record is ever created. E-Verify then does its job on data you have reason to trust.

Where ZipID and E-Verify stand today

  • ZipID is not currently integrated with E-Verify. We are working toward it and are not there yet.
  • ZipID handles identity verification and the Form I-9 itself. E-Verify employers continue running their E-Verify cases as they do today.
  • Ask us on a demo call where the integration actually stands. You will get a straight answer instead of a roadmap slide.

Built for the Day Someone Asks to See Them

An ICE Notice of Inspection gives an employer three business days to produce its I-9s. That is not enough time to fix anything. It is only enough time to hand over what you already have.

Structured export, not a stack of scans

Under 8 CFR 274a.2(f)(8)(iii), an inspection can require an electronic summary file containing all of the information fields on your stored Forms I-9. ZipID produces exactly that in a single click. The underlying data, in the structure an inspection asks for, rather than a PDF someone has to interpret.

A complete audit trail

8 CFR 274a.2(g)(1)(iv) requires a secure, permanent record each time an I-9 is created, completed, updated, altered, or corrected, establishing who acted, when, and what they did. ZipID is designed to meet that standard across users, roles, and locations, and the record is built to be read by someone who is looking for problems.
