You are completing a Form I-9 with a newly hired employee. Which one of the following documents is not allowed as a proof of identity and employment eligibility for the newly hired employee?

The Form I-9 divides acceptable documents into three lists. List A documents establish both identity and employment eligibility. List B documents establish identity only, while List C documents establish employment eligibility only. A driver's license is a List B document that proves identity but NOT employment eligibility. To complete Form I-9 using a driver's license, an employee must also provide a List C document. The other options (expired U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization, and unexpired reentry permit) are all List A documents that prove both identity and employment eligibility in a single document.

B. An expired U.S. passport is specifically acceptable as a List A document per USCIS guidance.
C. Certificate of Naturalization is a List A document proving both identity and employment eligibility.
D. An unexpired reentry permit (I-327) is a List A document establishing both requirements.
