LawLogix has comprehensive and fully audited policies to ensure that your documents remain secure and confidential. In addition, LawLogix ensures that the signer's identity can be authenticated.

I have completed my Onboarding Documents and Employment Eligibility Form (Form I-9). Can you please confirm receipt?
After you have electronically signed all of your onboarding paperwork, you will receive a confirmation email indicating that you have completed the hiring process.

If you feel this communication may go to your spam folder, please search for an email from noreply@Pereless.com.

Why isn't my Form I-9 complete?
It could be that your Remote Agent or notary has not completed Section 2.

Please consider the following steps before completion:

• After completing Section 1, you should have received an email including Section 2 instructions. Click on the link and add your Remote Agent's contact information. Email ETSRater@ets.org if you did not receive this email.
• Once the above step is completed, your Remote Agent will receive an email with an access code to complete Section 2 of your Form I-9. Please be ready to meet with your Remote Agent, present your original document(s) and complete Section 2.

Who is my Remote Agent?

• Your Remote Agent can be any contact who is 18 years of age or older and can attest to the fact that the identification documents being presented to ETS are true and authentic. Your Remote Agent must have a valid email address.
• ETS, as the remote employer, cannot be in your presence and examine your documents. Therefore, we ask that someone does so on our behalf. We grant you the ability to select this person because we do not have an ETS employee accessible to you.
• When the Remote Agent completes Section 2, their business address on the form will be listed as an ETS address because the Remote Agent has agreed to complete this process on our behalf.

Why hasn't my Remote Agent received the email to complete Section 2?

• Please confirm that the email address you entered for your Remote Agent is correct.
• Some email servers mark the email as spam due to the content of the communication. Please have your Remote Agent check their spam or junk mail folder for the following email address: DoNotReply@lawlogix.com. If your Remote Agent is unable to locate the email in their inbox or spam folders, please email ETSRater@ets.org.

What is certification?
The certification or qualifying test is an online assessment that measures the extent of a Rater’s understanding of the scoring process, the scoring criteria and rubric, and the accurate application of scores. Raters are given online access to training materials and practice tests in preparation for certification testing. This certification test is administered in the Online Network for Evaluation (ONE) system.

Will I be required to take a certification test?
Certification is required to score most assessments. Raters will receive training and be required to successfully complete an ETS certification exam. Raters who successfully pass the ETS certification exam will be eligible to score. Certification can take several hours and will be offered to new applicants until the Rater scoring pool is at capacity.

How long is certification?
The length of training and certification is dependent upon the program. Some certification tests may take 8 hours. However, you can log off and take a break at any time during your scheduled certification shift and return.

Most certification tests offer two attempts at receiving a passing score. Both attempts strongly encourage taking training prior to attempting the certification.

If you require a second attempt at certification testing, you will be allowed additional time for retraining before taking the certification test again.

When will I take certification?
Upon hire, the Scoring and Reporting Operations team will contact you regarding scheduling your training and certification.
