ZipID, Inc., a new identity verification and compliance platform, officially launches today, providing employers and HR technology providers with a seamless, secure, and fully automated solution for managing Form I-9 compliance. This solution addresses the federal mandate that requires U.S. employers to verify both the identity and legal authorization to work for every new hire.
With 11.4 million U.S. employers needing to process Form I-9s for their employees, ZipID’s web platform ensures efficiency in compliance while minimizing the risks of identity fraud and human error. Designed with security and privacy at its core, the platform is optimized to protect sensitive personal information.
Features of ZipID’s I-9 Platform
1. Fully Remote, 8-Minute Workflow
ZipID integrates facial recognition, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and compliance automation to offer a streamlined, fully remote workflow for completing Form I-9 in just 8 minutes. This makes it ideal for large companies with diverse hiring models and for smaller organizations seeking trustworthy, compliant processes.
2. Privacy and Security Focused
At the core of ZipID’s platform is a commitment to protecting personal information. All sensitive data is encrypted, retained only for the legally required duration, and fully compliant with federal privacy regulations.
3. Tailored Pricing Tiers
ZipID offers flexible pricing options, from small business packages to enterprise-grade integrations with HRIS, applicant tracking, and background check systems. The Colony Pro tier even supports white-labeling, co-branding, and bulk I-9 processing through custom API integrations.
4. Compliance with New Remote I-9 Rules
As remote work grows (with an estimated 32.6 million U.S. workers projected to work remotely by 2025), ZipID’s platform is designed to comply with the Department of Homeland Security’s new remote I-9 inspection rules that went into effect in 2023, offering a digital-first solution for employers facing increased pressure to validate identity and work authorization.
Timely Solution for Employers
ZipID’s launch comes at a critical time when federal worksite enforcement efforts are intensifying, especially with remote hiring becoming more prevalent, particularly in sectors like technology. With 68% of tech professionals working remotely, ZipID’s platform is designed to meet the increasing demand for digital, compliant solutions that can process the 70 million new hires added annually across the U.S.
A Vision for Simplified, Trustworthy Onboarding
Janice Kephart, the founder of ZipID and a recognized national security expert with 25 years of experience, said, “Employers need confidence in their new hires while also ensuring they comply with Form I-9 regulations. ZipID helps businesses avoid costly fines, deter identity fraud, and maintain a clear audit trail, all while making the onboarding process simple and trustworthy for new hires.”
ZipID’s automated I-9 verification platform empowers employers with a secure, efficient, and fully compliant solution that ensures proper identity verification for new hires. With its remote capabilities, secure workflows, and customizable pricing, ZipID is poised to be a leader in identity verification and compliance in today’s rapidly evolving workforce landscape.
