List the four List A documents that will trigger photo matching.
U.S. passport, passport card, Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) and Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766).
When the employee presents one of these documents, employers must copy the front and back of the document (or in the case of a U.S. passport, copy the Passport ID page and the Passport Barcode page) and retain the copies with Form I-9.
