Presenting Form I-9 Documents
Within 3 business days of starting work for pay, you must present to your employer documentation that establishes your
identity and employment authorization. For example, if you begin employment on Monday, you must present documentation
on or before Thursday of that week. However, if you were hired to work for less than 3 business days, you must present
documentation no later than the first day of employment.
Choose which unexpired document(s) to present to your employer from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. An employer
cannot specify which document(s) you may present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents. You may present either one
selection from List A or a combination of one selection from List B and one selection from List C. Some List A documents,
which show both identity and employment authorization, are combination documents that must be presented together to be
considered a List A document: for example, the foreign passport together with a Form I-94 containing an endorsement of the
alien’s nonimmigrant status and employment authorization with a specific employer incident to such status. List B documents
show identity only and List C documents show employment authorization only. If your employer participates in E-Verify and
you present a List B document, the document must contain a photograph. If you present acceptable List A documentation, you
should not be asked to present, nor should you provide, List B and List C documentation. If you present acceptable List B and
List C documentation, you should not be asked to present, nor should you provide, List A documentation. If you are unable to
present a document(s) from these lists, you may be able to present an acceptable receipt. Refer to the Receipts section below.
Your employer must review the document(s) you present to complete Form I-9. If your document(s) reasonably appears to be
genuine and to relate to you, your employer must accept the documents. If your document(s) does not reasonably appear to be
genuine or to relate to you, your employer must reject it and provide you with an opportunity to present other documents from
the Lists of Acceptable Documents. Your employer may choose to make copies of your document(s), but must return the
original(s) to you. Your employer must review your documents in your physical presence.
