This section contains many examples of documents from the I-9 lists of acceptable documents that an employee can provide to establish their work authorization and identity. However, this section does not include all variations of a particular document, and new versions of a document may become available after this guide is published. We do not expect you to be a document expert, but we do expect you to accept documents that appear reasonably authentic and relate to the person submitting them. The illustrations do not reflect the actual size of the documents.
For minors under 18 years of age and certain disabled persons who are unable to present one of the listed identification documents, special mentions may be used instead of a list B document. For the purposes of Form I-9, citizens of these countries may present FSM or RMI passports as well as a Form I-94 indicating the admission of nonimmigrants under the CFA accepted on List A. The exact spelling on Form I-94 may vary and is subject to change. The mention on Form I-94 usually says „CFA/FSM“ for an FSM citizen and „CFA/MIS“ for an RMI citizen. Some staff (including legal permanent residents, refugee claimants and refugees) may submit documents with an expiry date. You may need to double-check the employee`s work eligibility if certain documents on List A or C expire. For more information on the review, see Section 5.0, Completing Section 3. USCIS includes expiration dates on certain documents issued to people with perpetual work permits. If your employee`s document contains a future expiry date: You cannot accept a receipt indicating that the employee has applied for an initial work permit.
You also cannot accept receipts if the employment lasts less than three business days. For a list of receipts accepted for Form I-9, see Table 1 in Section 4.3, Acceptable Receipts. For examples of acceptable work permit documents issued by the Department of Homeland Security (List C#7), see uscis.gov/i-9-central. If you submit documents (copies or original documents, if necessary) in a foreign language, you must attach a complete English translation as well as a certificate from the translator confirming that the translation is complete and correct and that he is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

A Form I-797 issued at conditional residence, combined with its expired Form I-551, may be an acceptable Schedule C document. The I-9 contact form can help you answer questions about DHS-issued documents. These documents may vary in colour and paper used. All contain a raised seal of the desk that issued the document and may include a watermark and raised characters. The documents on List A contain both the identity and the work permit. Staff members who provide an acceptable List A document should not be asked to provide another document.
Some documents in List A are actually a combination of 2 or more documents. In these cases, the documents submitted together count as a single Annex A document. CBP and USCIS issue Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, to nonimmigrants. This document indicates the holder`s admission category, the date of entry and the expiry date of their immigration status.
