# I-9 Section 2: Foreign Passport Issuing Country

Abstract

When the new hire provides the manager a foreign passport as the proof of identity for employment authorization, the manager will have to select the **Country of Issuance** in the Onboard application while reviewing the new hire's I-9 information.

The **Country of Issuance** drop-down list is to be used when submitting data to E-Verify, which requires the country. The I-9 PDF will display the **Issuing Authority** with the country selected.
