Section 2. Employer or
Authorized Representative Review and Verification
Employers
cannot specify which document(s) employees may present from the
Lists of Acceptable Documents, found on the last page of Form I-9,
to establish identity and employment authorization. Employees must
present one selection from List A OR
a combination of
one selection from List B and one selection from List C. List A
contains documents that show both identity and employment
authorization. Some List A documents are combination documents.
The employee must present combination documents together to be
considered a List A document. For example, a foreign passport and
a Form I-94 containing an endorsement of the alien's nonimmigrant
status must be presented together to be considered a List A
document. List B contains documents that show identity only, and
List C contains documents that show employment authorization only.
If an employee presents a List A document, he or she should not
present a List B and List C document, and vice versa. If an
employer participates in E-Verify, the List B document must
include a photograph.
In
the field below the Section 2 introduction, employers must enter
the last name, first name and middle initial, if any, that the
employee entered in Section 1. This will help to identify the
pages of the form should they get separated.
Employers
or their authorized representative must:
1.
Physically examine each original document the employee presents to
determine if it reasonably appears to be genuine and to relate to
the person presenting it. The person who examines the documents
must be the same person who signs Section 2. The examiner of the
documents and the employee must both be physically present during
the examination of the employee's documents.
2.
Record the document title shown on the Lists of Acceptable
Documents, issuing authority, document number and expiration date
(if any) from the original document(s) the employee presents. You
may write "N/A" in any unused fields.
If
the employee is a student or exchange visitor who presented a
foreign passport with a Form I-94, the employer should also enter
in Section 2:
a.
The student's Form I-20 or DS-2019 number (Student and Exchange
Visitor Information System-SEVIS Number); and the program end date
from Form I-20 or DS-2019.

the case of an individual who is authorized for employment with a
specific employer because of his or her status or parole,
a foreign passport and a Form I-94 containing an endorsement of
the individual’s
status or
parole must
be presented together to be considered a List A document. List B
contains documents that show identity only, and List C contains
documents that show employment authorization only. If an employee
