After you complete Section 1, you’ll be prompted to upload your supporting documents.

  • If you need to complete this step at a later time, you can click Back at the top of the page and you’ll be returned to Review & sign startwork page.  When you’re ready to upload your supporting documents,  click Complete Your I-9.

  • In order to upload supporting documents to Wrapbook, they must be saved to your computer first

  • If you receive an error message when uploading a supporting document, there may be an issue with the file type or size.  The accepted formats for supporting document files are JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, and HEIF. The maximum file size accepted is 10 MB.

  • Supporting-document upload may be optional in some I-9 projects. On projects that use Wrapbook E-Verify, however, image upload is required for the document types listed above, including both sides or both required passport pages.

Here’s how to upload your supporting documents:

  1. On the Your I-9 page, under Next steps, click the Name dropdown menu to select the type of document you want to upload

  2. Click the Select a file button to upload a supporting document that’s been saved to your computer

  3. Once a document is successfully uploaded, it will be listed under Submitted documents

  4. Based on the type of document you upload first, you may be prompted to upload a second document. To do so, repeat the steps above.

  5. Once you’ve successfully submitted the required supporting documentation, you‘ll be returned to the Review & Sign Startwork page. A green check mark will indicate that you have successfully completed your Form I-9.

E-Verify

If you are completing Form I-9 for a project that uses E-Verify (employment eligibility verification), Wrapbook requires complete image capture for certain identity documents. When you select one of the document types below, upload both sides before continuing:

  • Driver's License — front and back

  • State ID Card — front and back

  • U.S. Passport Card — front and back

  • Permanent Resident Card (Green Card, I-551) — front and back

  • Employment Authorization Document (EAD, I-766) — front and back

  • For a U.S. Passport booklet, upload the photo/ID page and the barcode page. These are two separate pages, not the front and back of one card.

Wrapbook will ask for the additional images or pages and will not let you continue until all required images have been submitted. Complete image capture gives the E-Verify team the document record needed to review and verify your information without requesting another image from you.

Troubleshooting

Issues that may cause errors when completing your Form I-9 are typically the result of missing or incorrectly formatted information.

To address this, we recommend the following:

  • Confirm that dates entered use MM/DD/YYYY format

  • If there’s no expiration date or information to enter within a field, leave it blank, do not add “N/A” or a dash

  • Confirm that you have signed the form - If you correct any errors you will be prompted to re-sign the form again, to ensure you are attesting to the changed information

  • If you’re unable to sign the document on mobile or on the Wrapbook app, we recommend trying on a desktop computer

  • When signing, first click the Create button and then click the Submit button. The Create button will only appear blue/active once a name is entered. If you can’t click the Create button, click your signature line again to make sure you’ve typed your name in the signature field.

  • If you realize during signing that you’ve entered the wrong name, you can click Back, then click on the signature field to update it.
