I-9
Work authorization document
The I-9 is a U.S. government form that verifies a person's identity and authorization to work in the United States.
Employers must complete an I-9 for every new hire, examining documents like passports or driver's licenses with Social Security cards.
HR asked me to bring my documents for the I-9 on my first day.
