Activity Log
The Activity Log is a searchable, chronological record of all actions in your ZipID account: invitations sent, AR assignments, employee submissions, employer completions, E-Verify entries, downloads, and user account changes.
Step 1: Navigate to the Activity Log from the employer dashboard.
Step 2: Use the search function to filter by employee name, date range, action type, or user.
💡 The Activity Log is your primary audit defense. In the event of an ICE inspection, it provides a complete record of every action on every I-9 — who did what and when.
Downloading the ICE Audit CSV
ICE Audit CSV download — Form I-9s section
Step 1: Navigate to the Form I-9s section of the employer dashboard.
Step 2: Select the records to export, or select all.
Step 3: Click "Download ICE Audit CSV."
CSV export — all required I-9 data fields and E-Verify case information
⚠️ Do not wait for ICE to demand records. Download and organize your Audit CSV proactively. ZipID retains active I-9 data for 30 days; records older than 30 days require a direct request to ZipID and may incur additional fees.
Data Retention
Federal law requires employers to retain I-9s for 3 years from the date of hire or 1 year after employment ends, whichever is later. ZipID retains completed transaction data for 30 days in active status, then moves to near-line or off-line retention for the legally required period.
