The hiring department should review only original documents. Do not accept photo copies and do not record documents you did not personally verify. It is important not to specify which documents the employee must show.
Documentation
The employee will need to provide documentation that establishes identity and employment eligibility. Some documents establish both identity and employment eligibility (List A). Other documents establish identity alone (List B) or employment eligibility alone (List C). If the person does not provide a document from List A, he/she must produce one from List B and one from List C. A list of acceptable documents is included on page 2 of the I-9 Form.

The list of acceptable documents is printed on page 3 of the I-9 form. [NOTE: Most faculty, scholars and students will use a combination of documents that are endorsed/signed by UA’s Capstone International Center. Therefore, please use these written guidelines and “sample” forms when completing the I-9 form.]
