Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9) - Updated Lists of Acceptable Documents
 

Acceptable Document Changes

The following list contains changes effective after the 11/91 publication of Form I-9 and the "Handbook for Employers." The published I-9 Form provided by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has not as yet been updated to reflect the changes in acceptable documents. Please see the USCIS Web site for more information.
 

Other Document Changes

  • Form I-151: Form I-151 has been withdrawn from circulation and is no longer a valid List A document.
  • Form I-766: Form I-766 was introduced in January 1997 as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). It should be recorded on the I-9 Form under List A. A previous version of the EAD is the Form I-688B, which continues to be an acceptable List A document.
  • Form I-551: The Permanent Resident Card (new version of Form I-551) was introduced in 1990 as documentation issued to lawful permanent residents of the US. Older versions of Form I-551 remain valid until expiration, if any. The Form I-551 should be recorded on the I-9 Form under List A. On the back of the Form I-9, it is listed under List A #5 as an Alien Registration Receipt Card.
