Form I-9 and Receipts

Your employee may present a receipt¹ for the replacement of a lost, stolen, or damaged² List A, List B, or List C document. This receipt is valid for 90 days. When it expires, the employee must show you the replacement document for which the receipt was issued.

When your  employee provides an acceptable receipt, you should:

• Record the document title in Section 2 under List A, List B or List C, as applicable, prefaced by the word “Receipt.” (Example: “Receipt: State-Issued ID Card”)
• Write the issuing authority, document number, and the last day that the receipt is valid in the appropriate fields.

When the employee presents the actual document, you should:

• Cross out the word “receipt” and the document number, if different.
• Record in the Additional Information field in Section 2 the document information from the documentation presented; and
• Initial and date the change.

You may not accept a receipt when employment will last fewer than three (3) days.

If you participate in E-Verify, you should set aside the I-9 and not submit for verification until the employee presents the actual ID document.
