E‑Verify I-9 Practice Exam

The correct answer is that a college student ID is not an acceptable form of identification for the I-9 form. The purpose of the I-9 form is to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States.

Acceptable forms of identification include documents that establish both identity and employment eligibility. A U.S. passport, Social Security card, and permanent resident card are all recognized documents that fulfill these requirements. Specifically, a U.S. passport serves as proof of identity as well as citizenship, a Social Security card indicates eligibility to work, and a permanent resident card (Green Card) confirms a person's lawful permanent resident status in the U.S.

In contrast, a college student ID does not meet the criteria set forth by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) because it does not provide conclusive proof of employment authorization or citizenship. Therefore, it cannot be used when completing the I-9 form, making it the correct answer for this question.
