How to Get a Permit to Work in the US

All U.S. employers are required to confirm that employees are legally able to work in the United States. If an individual is not a citizen or a lawful permanent resident of the United States they will need a permit to work, officially known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), to prove eligibility to work in the US.
It is the responsibility of both parties to show and require proof of legal employment status.

Employees are required to prove that they are authorized to work in the US, and employers are required to verify the identity and eligibility to work for all new employees.
