Can I accept an expired drivers license to establish a new hires identity for I-9 purposes?
Yes. The INS Handbook for Employers (page 14) specifically states that “You may . . . accept an expired document from List B to establish identity.” However, a driver’s license can only be used to establish a new hire’s identity for I-9 purposes. It is one of a number of documents, called List B documents, that only establish identity for I-9 purposes. The new hire must also provide a document from List C to establish work authorization. This rule also means that if a List B document is used to establish a new hire’s identity, you do not need to reverify the I-9 Form when that document expires.
