What are List C documents?

List C documents specifically refer to those that establish employment authorization only. This means they are used to demonstrate that an individual is authorized to work in the United States. The context of List C documents is critical for employers during the I-9 verification process, as these documents ensure that individuals have the necessary legal permission to work.

List C documents do not serve to establish identity; that role is fulfilled by List A documents, which provide both identity and employment authorization, or by List B documents that establish identity alone. Therefore, selecting the option that solely highlights employment authorization aligns precisely with the specific definition and purpose of List C documents.
