Identification Required to Establish Work Eligibility

Federal regulations require that new employees (first time student employees) verify employment eligibility by presenting one document from List A below OR one document each from both Lists B AND C:

For example:

• If you have a U.S. passport (List A item), you need no further documentation.
• If you have no items from List A, you must produce an item from both List B and List C, such as a driver's license or ID card from List B AND a U.S. Social Security Card or an original or certified copy of a birth certificate from List C.
