Automating Immigration Compliance

Fast, secure, and trusted: Blockchain technology backed by near real-time auditing

About us

As the world’s first blockchain-based immigration compliance automation platform, LexChain leverages distributed ledger security to facilitate a fast, trusted, and cost-efficient way for employers to complete Form I-9 employment eligibility verification. It includes tools to facilitate verification of employee documentation, an E-Verify interface, and near real-time auditing.

HR departments, attorneys, new hires, and government regulators all benefit from the transparent nature of blockchain transactions, and LexChain offers a unique and secure access point for government investigators in case of an audit. The inherent security protects privacy and minimizes data retention risks, and the platform’s data validation and auditing features ensure the highest levels of regulatory compliance on the market. Win-win-win.

Why Blockchain?

Blockchain technology verifies and permanently records true data without relying on third parties. Compliance with employment verification regulations represents one of the best use-cases for technology that provides security, speed, and trust.

The system of distributed ledger and nodes means anyone who is involved in employment eligibility processes – employees, employers, legal representatives, and auditors – can interact with the system, input required information and documentation, and ensure that all actions taken are recorded, making clear who took what action and when. Data validation, document reviews, and near real-time auditing ensures that I-9 forms are completed correctly and reduces the possibility of errors. Additionally, government regulators can be provided secure access to select records and an immutable audit trail to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

Ensuring stringent compliance with electronic I-9 regulatory requirements, while simultaneously limiting the possibility of human error, allows organizations to breathe easy, not worrying about costly fines for I-9 violations. LexChain’s secure storage greatly reduces the risk of data loss or privacy breaches.

Why LexChain?

Data security

Company data is stored securely and does not propagate over the network. Employees’ private data is always secure within the employer organization.

Pain-free compliance audits

Compliance status and data are always available for employers to make available to auditors and government authorities. Auditing tools allow for seamless communication between the auditor and the user, ensuring that all necessary corrections are made properly.

Cost-efficient employment eligibility verification​

No more paper I-9s. No spreadsheets. Everything is automated and accurate.

Risk Mitigation

Live data is verified and audited. If it’s incorrect, it doesn’t get in.
