Documents that you can use to prove your identity and citizenship to your employer. Examples include your state id/driver's license, birth certificate, immigration documentation, and passport.

• A. I-9 verification documents
• B. Background check documents
• C. Social security card
• D. Tax documents

Answer: (A)

When employers verify who you are and that you’re allowed to work, they use the I-9 verification process. The key idea is that you need documents that establish both your identity and your eligibility to work in the U.S. You can show one document that proves both (like a passport), or a combination: a document that proves identity (such as a state ID or driver’s license) plus a document that proves citizenship or work authorization (such as a birth certificate or immigration documents). The examples given—state ID or driver's license, birth certificate, immigration documents, and passport—fit exactly into this framework and are commonly used for I-9 verification.

Background check documents are about past records and do not establish identity or work authorization for employment. A Social Security card by itself doesn’t prove identity, and tax documents don’t verify employment eligibility.
