What Do I Need to Bring to My I-9 Appointment?

What do I need to bring to my I-9 appointment?

Please bring the original, acceptable Form I-9 documents that you choose to present from the USCIS Lists of Acceptable Documents.

You may present either:

  • One document from List A, which establishes both identity and employment authorization, such as a U.S. Passport or Passport Card, Permanent Resident Card, or qualifying Employment Authorization Document; or
  • One document from List B AND one document from List C, such as a qualifying driver's license together with an unrestricted Social Security card. USCIS

Your employer or Authorized Representative generally cannot tell you which specific acceptable documents you must provide. You may choose from the USCIS Lists of Acceptable Documents. USCIS

Documents containing an expiration date generally must be unexpired, although USCIS recognizes certain extensions and acceptable receipts in specific circumstances. Photocopies are generally not acceptable, except for certified copies of birth certificates and other situations specifically permitted by USCIS. USCIS

Also bring any instructions, forms, or electronic system access information provided by your employer.

If you are unsure whether your documents are acceptable, review the current USCIS Lists of Acceptable Documents or contact us before your appointment.
