PHR · Question #118

You are completing a Form I-9 with a newly hired employee. Which one of the following documents is not allowed as a proof of identity and employment eligibility for the newly hired employee?

The correct answer is A. Driver's license. A driver's license is a List B document that proves identity only and cannot independently establish employment eligibility, so it does not satisfy both requirements of Form I-9.

Why each option

A driver's license is a List B document that proves identity only and cannot independently establish employment eligibility, so it does not satisfy both requirements of Form I-9.

ADriver's licenseCorrect

Form I-9 requires either one List A document (proving both identity and employment authorization) or a combination of one List B and one List C document. A driver's license is a List B document that establishes identity only - it has no power to prove employment authorization. Presenting only a driver's license therefore cannot satisfy the dual proof requirement.

BExpired US passport

An expired US passport is not acceptable on Form I-9, but this is an expired status issue rather than a structural document-type limitation; the question tests which document category cannot prove both elements.

CCertificate of naturalization

A Certificate of Naturalization (Form N-550 or N-570) is a List A document and satisfies both identity and employment eligibility requirements.

DUnexpired reentry permit

An unexpired Reentry Permit (Form I-327) is a List A document accepted to establish both identity and employment eligibility.
