When does the employee have to present proof of identity and employment eligibility?
Within three business days of commencement of employment, the employee must present the employer with documents evidencing the employee’s identity and employment eligibility. The documents must be from the Lists of Acceptable Documents, found on the reverse of the Form I-9. The choice of documents to present is the employee’s alone. Typically, out of convenience, the completion of Section 1 by the employee and the presentation of identity and employment eligibility documents to the employer (Section 2) are done at the same time.
