U.S. Passport Card Now an Accepted List A I-9 Document
The U.S.C.I.S. announced on August 8th that the new U.S. Passport Card may be used as a List A document in the employment eligibility verification I-9 process. As a List A document, the new Passport card is valid for I-9 purposes for both identity and work authorization.
For travel purposes, the Passport Card provides a cheaper alternative to the traditional U.S. passport book and expedites document processing at United States land and sea ports-of-entry under certain limited situations: for U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda (it can’t be used for international air travel).
With this new announcement, U.S. employers can now accept the card as List A, I-9 document.
