# Symmetry I-9 overview

> Symmetry I-9 is an embeddable, API-driven solution for completing and managing Form I-9 employment eligibility verification inside your own platform.

Symmetry I-9, powered by [WorkBright](https://workbright.com/), is an embeddable, API-driven solution that lets you deliver compliant Form I-9 employment eligibility verification directly inside your own product. You use the API to configure and orchestrate the process—registering employers, employees, and administrators—while your users complete and manage Forms I-9 through embedded experiences that live inside your application.

It handles the full lifecycle of employment eligibility verification: Section 1 (employee), Section 2 (employer review), reverification and rehire (Supplement B), E-Verify case management, and long-term retention for audit readiness.

## Who it's for

Symmetry I-9 is built for **service providers and platforms**—such as HR, onboarding, and payroll systems—that want to offer compliant I-9 verification to the **employers** they serve, without building the workflow, compliance logic, or E-Verify integration themselves.

## Key capabilities

* **All compliant Section 2 verification methods**, including [remote verification](/i9/remote-i-9/authorized-representatives) via the Alternative Procedure and Authorized Representatives.
* **In-app E-Verify case management**—[configure E-Verify](/i9/e-verify/configure) and let administrators create, monitor, and resolve cases (including TNCs) without leaving your platform.
* **Mobile-optimized employee experience** with guided document capture.
* **Automated reminders** for expiring work authorization documents.
* **A comprehensive [audit trail](/i9/compliance-and-audit-readiness/audit-events)** and [retention](/i9/compliance-and-audit-readiness/retention) to support ICE and DHS inspections.
* **[Webhooks](/i9/core-concepts/webhooks)** for real-time notifications as employees and administrators progress through the workflow.
* **[Custom theming](/i9/custom-theming/app-theming)** so the embedded experiences match your brand.

## How Symmetry I-9 is delivered

Symmetry I-9 combines a REST API with two embedded, hosted experiences you launch inside your platform.

## How it works

At a high level, you register an employer, add its administrators and employees, and (optionally) configure E-Verify through the API. You then generate the embedded employee experience so new hires can complete their Form I-9, and the embedded administrator experience so HR can review and take action. When a Form I-9 is complete, you retrieve the finished data through the API or receive it via postback.

For the full step-by-step integration path, see the [I-9 Integration Workflow](/i9/getting-started/integration-workflow) in Getting Started.
