Experian Recognized as a 2026 Lighthouse Tech Awards Winner for Its I-9 Management Solution

This marks the third consecutive year that Lighthouse Research & Advisory has acknowledged Experian for its innovative employer solutions

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 19, 2026-- For the third consecutive year, Experian® has been recognized as a Lighthouse Tech Awards winner by Lighthouse Research & Advisory. Experian’s I-9 Management with virtual I-9 completion was celebrated as a Core HR/Workforce and Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution for its ability to address compliance gaps and reduce risk in the Form I-9 process for all employers, whether their workforce is remote, hybrid or fully onsite.

“We built our I-9 Management solution to help make identity verification easier for employers and employees alike, especially when teams are spread out across different locations,” said Anne Obee, vice president of Experian Employer Services. “By offering an alternative to the traditional in-person process, we assist companies in maintaining compliance without adding complexity. Our recognition reflects our continued focus on making compliance simpler and more efficient for our clients.”

The Form I-9 is a critical component of onboarding, yet errors and noncompliance can lead to significant financial penalties. Traditional paper-based processes are vulnerable to risks, such as:

  • Outdated government-issued forms
  • Incorrectly completed fields
  • Lost or damaged physical forms
  • Untimely retention or deletion of records

In today’s complex regulatory environment, Experian helps to simplify the process for employers and new hires, mitigates risk, and leverages our specialists’ deep expertise and strong alignment with E-Verify for successful completion.

“Experian’s latest I-9 capabilities make the process faster and easier through mobile document upload capabilities, secure virtual Section 2 appointments, real-time document review and immediate E-Verify submission,” said the Lighthouse Research & Advisory Awards judging panel. “These enhancements deliver a smoother onboarding experience for both HR teams and new hires.”
