How to Submit I-9 Identity Documents and Complete Verification

To successfully submit your I-9 identity documents and complete the verification process, follow these guidelines:

Submission Requirements for I-9 Documents

  • Document Types: Submit clear photos of both the front and back of your original, physical government-issued documents, such as a driver’s license or CDL. Ensure the images are not copies, screenshots, or PDF files. Only original, clearly photographed images are acceptable.

  • Image Quality: Ensure the photos are clear and legible, with no glare or obstructions. Blurry or unclear images may delay the verification process.- Document Combinations: Submit either one List A document or a combination of one List B document and one List C document. Refer to the official list of acceptable I-9 documents for guidance.

Acceptable Documents

Refer to the official USCIS Form I-9 “Acceptable Documents” list to confirm which documents are eligible for submission. This list provides detailed guidance on the types of documents that can be used for identity verification.The list distinguishes between List A documents, which establish both identity and employment authorization, and List B and List C documents, which must be submitted together to establish identity and employment authorization respectively.

  1. Open the Jobs tab in the WorkWhile app.

  2. Accept a shift (note: the shift will not be confirmed yet). This action will enable the upload flow for ID verification.
