Additional Details
What about COLOR copies of any two forms of ID?

Is this thing on?
|
It's only legal if you've actually been hired for the job.
I wouldn't want them to copy it by color. Black and white is the method usually used.
I wouldn't allow my ss card to be color copied. |

I believe it would be illegal. As a potential employer, when verifying employment eligibility (DHS Form I-9), you cannot discriminate or specify which documents you will accept. You can only refer an employee to the types of documents you CAN accept. Yes a State Driver's License is a List B and Social Security Card is a List C, but you cannot request that specifically.
Also, have they been offered a job?
I wouldn't encourage you to ask for non-notarized documents...it's your signature on the I-9 and you are ultimately responsible for signing the bottom line.
If you choose to collect and keep the photocopies with the I-9, you must keep it for all employees. If not, be sure to shred everything.
Again, remember, the liability is ultimately with you if you choose do not have whatever documents that are sent to you notarized. |

P.T.I.

Yes, it is legal. Some employers request this to verify that your name actually matches exactly for tax purposes. I was asked to do this and that is how it was explained to me. |

When you fax a black and white copy of a ss card and dl it is hard to read. Color copies are much easier to read. Our office (me actually) faxes DL and SS card to corporate offices and safety coordinators with all new hire applicants |

Why would you need color? Black ink should suffice. Lots of printing places won't do color because its a sticky situation. |
