What type of document is required for employment authorization to purchase SLCPs?

To purchase Scheduled Listed Chemical Products (SLCPs), such as pseudoephedrine, an Employment Authorization Document that contains a photo is essential. This document serves as a reliable proof of identity and authorizes the individual to legally work in the United States. The requirement for a photo is particularly significant because it helps confirm the identity of the individual making the purchase, thereby reducing the risk of misuse or illegal activities associated with SLCPs.

While government-issued IDs, work permits, and driver's licenses may provide proof of identity, they do not necessarily indicate employment authorization as specifically as the Employment Authorization Document does. Therefore, the document that specifically meets the regulatory requirements and provides the necessary assurances about the purchaser's identity and employment status is the Employment Authorization Document containing a photo.
