Ensure the citizenship status and Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number in Section 1 is accurate
Enter the correct document number for a Permanent Resident Card.

Please note: These are two different numbers.

This can be completed using the I-9 Documentation Dashboard

Select WorkSpaces
Under your organization's name, select Administrator
Select I-9 Documentation
A list of Team Members will appear. The status for each individual will be displayed on the right
Select Actions > Start I-9
Section 2 of the I-9 will open > There are four steps to complete

When an employee provides a Permanent Resident Card to verify their employment, they should have marked Lawful Permanent Resident as their status in Section 1 of Form I-9. This is the only citizenship status associated with the Permanent Resident Card

- Please note: This number is always different than the document number the manager enters in Step 2 of Section 2 for Form I-9.

Highlighted below is where the number that should be on Section 1 can be found:
