Thank you for all the posters who took the time to offer their opinion. I am still slightly confused though. Lucky I only deal with a limited number of models on a ongoing basis so its not a big deal.
Going back to my original question. I understand a primary id must be government issued. The question pertains more to whether a secondary id is meant to supplement a primary (in which case an employee id would be acceptable) or actually be a substitute for a primary id (in which case it must also be government issued).
Like everyone should I ask for divers license/ state id and passport. But not everyone has a passport and honestly I would rather have a secondary photo id from an known legit employer or university rather than a social security card with no photo.
Like I said, thank you to all posters (especially lacuna for the links). I prefer to ask these questions before I actually end up in a situation rather than after.
