It requires the employer to verify that the photo displayed in E-Verify is identical to the photo on the document that the employee presented for section 2 of Form I-9. Other documents with photos (such as driver s license) will not activate photo matching. Photo matching is activated automatically if an employee has presented his or her Form I-9 a: I-551, (Permanent Resident Card) U.S. passport or passport card 19. If no photo is available, the case will either automatically skip photo matching or No Photo on this Document may display in place of a photo. A photo displayed in E-Verify should be compared with the photo in the document that the employee has presented and not with the face of the employee. If an employee presents a Permanent Resident Card or U.S. passport or passport card as the verification document, the employer must retain a copy of that document and keep it on file with Form I-9. HR will fulfill this part of the process. 20. If the photo displayed on the E-Verify screen does not match the photo on the employee s document, the employee will receive a DHS Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) and must be given the opportunity to correct the problem. If the employee chooses to contest the TNC, the employer must either attach and submit NAU HR Compliance Center User s Training revised July 2015 Page 12 of 17
electronically a copy of the employee s photo document or mail a copy of the employee s document to DHS via express mail at the employer s expense. 21. Employees have the right to present any acceptable documentation to complete Form I-9. Employers may not require an employee to present a specific document.
