What are List B documents?

List B documents are specifically designed to establish the identity of an individual when completing the Form I-9 for employment verification. Unlike List A documents, which can establish both identity and employment authorization, List B documents focus solely on proving who the person is. These documents can include items like a driver's license, state ID card, or certain types of employee identification cards.

This focus on identity means that while they are crucial for the verification process, they do not contain any evidence of employment eligibility on their own. The structure of the I-9 form requires both identity and employment authorization to be validated by the employer to fulfill verification requirements; hence, documents in List B serve a unique but essential purpose in that verification process.
