What are the employers responsibilities with regard to completing Section 2?
In order to properly complete Section 2 of the Form I-9, the employer must examine original documents in the presence of the employee establish identity and employment eligibility. The employer must indicate on the form which documents have been reviewed. The employer must also completely fill out Section 2 of the form, even if copies of the documents presented by the employee are attached to the form. Simply attaching copies of the identity and work authorization documents does not absolve the employer of the need to fill in the appropriate document titles, issuing authorities, document ID number, and expiration dates (if any) under List A, or Lists B and C.
