List B Documents

List B Documents are one type of document category used in the Employment Eligibility Verification process (Form I-9) to establish an individual's identity. These documents must show a photo of the person presenting them.

Example #1

A valid driver's license

Example #2

A U.S. state identification card

Misuse

Misuse of List B Documents could occur if an employer accepts expired or invalid documents during the Form I-9 process. This could lead to hiring individuals who may not have the legal right to work in the U.S., potentially resulting in legal implications for the employer and exploitation of individuals lacking work authorization.

Benefits

Using List B Documents correctly helps verify the identity of employees, ensuring that they are eligible to work in the U.S. This is crucial in maintaining a legal and fair workforce.

Conclusion

Employers must carefully review List B Documents to verify an individual's identity and employment eligibility, promoting fair and transparent hiring practices that align with CAP's mission of protecting employee rights.
