12Unexpired Documents
Generally, only unexpired, original documentation is acceptable. The only exception is that an employee may present a
certified copy of a birth certificate. Additionally, in some instances, a document that appears to be expired may be
acceptable if the expiration date shown on the face of the document has been extended, such as for individuals with
temporary protected status. Refer to the Handbook for Employers: Instructions for Completing Form I-9 (M-274) or I-9
Central ( ) for examples.
Receipts
If an employee is unable to present a required document (or documents), the employee can present an acceptable receipt in
lieu of a document from the Lists of Acceptable Documents on the last page of this form. Receipts showing that a person
has applied for an initial grant of employment authorization, or for renewal of employment authorization, are not
acceptable. Employers cannot accept receipts if employment will last less than 3 days. Receipts are acceptable when
completing Form I-9 for a new hire or when reverification is required.
Employees must present receipts within 3 business days of their first day of employment, or in the case of reverification,
by the date that reverification is required, and must present valid replacement documents within the time frames described
below.
There are three types of acceptable receipts:
1. A receipt showing that the employee has applied to replace a document that was lost, stolen or damaged. The
employee must present the actual document within 90 days from the date of hire.
2. The arrival portion of Form I-94/I-94A with a temporary I-551 stamp and a photograph of the individual. The
employee must present the actual Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) by the expiration date of the temporary
I-551 stamp, or, if there is no expiration date, within 1 year from the date of issue.
3. The departure portion of Form I-94/I-94A with a refugee admission stamp. The employee must present an unexpired
Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766) or a combination of a List B document and an unrestricted Social
Security card within 90 days.
When the employee provides an acceptable receipt, the employer should:
1. Record the document title in Section 2 under the sections titled List A, List B, or List C, as applicable.
2. Write the word "receipt" and its document number in the "Document Number" field. Record the last day that the
receipt is valid in the "Expiration Date" field.
By the end of the receipt validity period, the employer should:
1. Cross out the word "receipt" and any accompanying document number and expiration date.
2. Record the number and other required document information from the actual document presented.
3. Initial and date the change.
See the Handbook for Employers: Instructions for Completing Form I-9 (M-274) at
for more
information on receipts.
Section 3. Reverification and Rehires
Employers or their authorized representatives should complete Section 3 when reverifying that an employee is authorized
to work. When rehiring an employee within 3 years of the date Form I-9 was originally completed, employers have the
option to complete a new Form I-9 or complete Section 3. When completing Section 3 in either a reverification or rehire
situation, if the employee's name has changed, record the name change in Block A.
For employees who provide an employment authorization expiration date in Section 1, employers must reverify
employment authorization on or before the date provided.
