Preparing Prior to Day 1

    • Be prepared to provide two (2) Federal I-9 conforming IDs to affirm your identity, both with the Badging Office and Human Resources (HR). One of these IDs must be a conforming photo ID. For details on what IDs are allowed, please visit the US Citizenship and Immigration Services page here.

The User Account Management (UAM) team will provide a presentation on the first day of NEO to guide you through the process of completing this requirement and answer any questions you may have.
