There are many documents which can be used to establish identity and eligibility to work. Depending on the document(s) you have available, you will upload one or two documents to establish these details. All documents must be unexpired and signed (if applicable).

• U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card

• Foreign passport that contains a temporary I-551 stamp or temporary I-551 printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa
• Employment Authorization Document that contains a photograph (I-766)
• For a nonimmigrant alien authorized to work for a specific employer because of his or her status, a foreign passport AND Form I-94 or Form I-94A that has the same name as the passport and an endorsement of the alien’s immigration status as long as that period of endorsement has not yet expired and the proposed employment is not in conflict with any restrictions or limitation identified on the form
• Passport from the Federated State of Micronesia (FSM) or the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) with Form I-94 or Form I-94A indicating nonimmigrant admission under the Compact of Free Association Between the United States and the FSM or RMI
