The USCIS requires employees to present documents that show their identity and employment authorization within three business days of the employment start date. If not, they must present an acceptable receipt replacing the document. The employer completes Section 2 by recording the receipt details and skips the E-Verify activity by marking it as complete. When the actual document is provided by the employee, the employer updates the receipt with the actual document and proceeds to E-Verify.

In the Additional Information enter if any note/comment has to be added.
If an alternative procedure is used for remote verification of documents, indicate this by selecting the "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" checkbox. Note: This alternative process is allowed exclusively when the Legal Entity (Company/Business Unit) responsible for the employee's hiring is registered for E-Verify, which means the Company or Business Unit has been configured in the DHS Client Setup. If the legal Entity (Company/Business Unit) is not enrolled in E-Verify, this checkbox will appear disabled. When this checkbox is selected, attaching supporting documents in Section 2 is mandatory if no supporting documents are attached by the New Hire in Section 1.

Note: If Section 2 is assigned to a remote user, and the checkbox indicating "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" is checked by the remote user in Section 2, they must upload supporting documents when completing the Section 2 activity if no attachment is provided in Section 1. The I-9 Specialist does not need to add the attachment while completing the Section 2 review unless they delete the attachment uploaded by the remote user. In this case, the system will prompt for the attachment during the completion of the Section 2 review.

If the alternative procedure checkbox is selected and no attachment is provided in either Section 1 or Section 2, the page will show the following error message upon saving the Section 2 activity.

Note: Even though Though the checkbox indicating "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" is not checked, you will still be prompted for uploading attachments in Section 2 if not provided in Section 1 especially if attachments are configured as mandatory in I-9 activities.
