Click the arrow next to a question to see the answer.

Do you support the Preparer/Translator Certification (Supplement A)?

  • Currently Wrapbook does not contain functionality to allow for the completion of Supplement A. If this section needs to be completed, we recommend completing the Form I-9 outside of Wrapbook and then uploading the PDF of the completed Form I-9 to your project’s documents folder.

  • Enabling the use of Supplement A in Wrapbook is on our development roadmap - stay tuned!

What about workers who need to complete a Supplement B because their documents expired?

  • Wrapbook will detect document expiry for each new project they are onboarded to. When this happens, they’ll be prompted to complete a new Form I-9.

Can I complete the Form I-9 form on my phone?

  • Yes! The Form I-9 workflow is fully mobile-friendly, allowing you to complete your forms conveniently from any device.
