> According to the laws the company is required to fully ID you before hiring

Is that new? I have never showed an id to an employer including when I worked in the US.

You’re probably just forgetting.

Maybe. I think I filled out such a form with the passport number etc. It is just that I don't think I showed anyone my passport.

From what I recall, The I9 is only upon actually becoming an employee. Its part of the paperwork you have to complete on your first hire date.
