Important Update:
The I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form
Posted March 15, 2007
Certain documents included on List A of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form, commonly known as the I-9 form, are no longer acceptable.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued special instructions for completion of the I-9 that reflects changes to five of the 10 documents contained on List A of the I-9.
The following documents are no longer acceptable:
- Certificate of U.S. Citizenship – Form N-560 or N-561 (List A #2)
- Certificate of Naturalization – Form N-550 or N-570 (List A #3)
- Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card with photograph – Form I-151 (List A #5). Please note that the Form I-551 Permanent Resident Card remains an acceptable List A document because it includes an individual’s photograph, fingerprint, and signature.
- Unexpired Reentry Permit/Form I-327 (List A #8)
- Unexpired Refuge Travel Document/Form I-571 (List A #9)
The USCIS website also lists an additional document accepted under List A #10 for employment eligibility purposes. This document is entitled Employment Authorization Document – Form I-766.
Please remember that you are required to review the original documents not a photocopy of any document required for verification. If you have questions about completing I-9 forms, please call Salary Administration at 803-777-3111.
