Supporting Documents Submitted by Employee
Supporting Documents submitted by the employee are used to determine (or support) two factors - employee identity and employee employment eligibility.
Some documentation establishes both identity and employment eligibility (List A). Other documentation establishes identity only (List B) or employment eligibility only (List C). Employers may accept one document from List A, or a combination of one document from List B and one document from List C.
Any 'List B' document presented to employers participating in E-Verify MUST contain a photo.
