Do you have a valid ID or need a copy of your birth certificate or social security card? These items may be needed for employment and job opportunities. Every job requires completing mandatory paperwork and attaching certain forms of identification to that paperwork. One form that must be completed is the I-9 form. In order to complete this form, you must provide some information about your identity and employment eligibility, such as a U.S. passport or permanent resident card, or a Social Security card (not a copy) and a valid driver's license. This page will provide you with a list of agencies and/or organizations that can help you obtain the necessary I-9 documents in Alameda County.
