How do I add I-9 document type dropdown options to my Dynamic Files for counter-sign fields?
When setting up I-9 related Dynamic Files (such as applications, legal packets, or standalone I-9 forms), you may need dropdown fields populated with the official I-9 document type options so that the counter-signing party (typically an HR staff member or employer representative) can select the appropriate document type during verification.
The standard I-9 document types are organized into three lists:
List A (Documents that Establish Both Identity and Employment Authorization):
- U.S. Passport
- U.S. Passport Card
- Perm. Resident Card (Form I-551)
- Employment Auth. Document (Form I-766)
- Foreign Passport
- Alien Reg. Receipt Card (Form I-551)
- Receipt: Form I-94/I-94A w/I-551 stamp, photo
- Receipt: Foreign Passport w/Form I-94/I-94A
- Receipt: Replacement of List A document
List B (Documents that Establish Identity):
- Driver's License
- State ID Card
- School ID Card w/photo
- Voter Registration Card
- U.S. Military Card/Draft Record
- Military Dependent's ID Card
- U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document
- Native American Tribal Document
- Canadian Driver's License
- Receipt: Replacement of List B document
List C (Documents that Establish Employment Authorization):
- Social Security Card
- Birth Certificate
- Employment Auth. Document (DHS)
- List C #7
- Form FS-545
- Form DS-1350
- Form FS-240
- Form I-197
- Form I-179
- Receipt: Replacement SS Card
- Receipt: Replacement Birth Certificate
- Receipt: Replacement of List C document
Adding these dropdown options to counter-sign fields on a Dynamic File currently requires a request to Bolt HC Support. To submit your request:
1. Identify the specific Dynamic File (by name) that needs the dropdown fields.
2. Specify which I-9 list(s) and document types you need added (List A, List B, List C, or a combination).
3. Indicate that the dropdowns should be set as counter-sign fields (meaning they are completed by the agency-side signer, not the caregiver).
4. Submit a support request with this information.
Bolt Support will configure the dropdown options on your Dynamic File. You can request dropdowns for individual I-9 forms, full application packets, legal packets, or any other Dynamic File that includes I-9 verification sections. Multiple dropdown fields can be added to the same document (e.g., separate dropdowns for List A Document #1, List A Document #2, List B, and List C).
