I-9 - New Form - PLEASE READ

As of August 1, 2023, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) began accepting the new Form I-9, superseding the previous version revised in 2019. 

Until October 31, 2023, either the old Form I-9 or the new Form I-9 will be accepted. After October 31, 2023, only the new Form I-9 will be accepted. Submitting an outdated or incorrect Form I-9 after October 31, 2023 will result in penalties. To avoid these penalties, it is important to become familiar with the new Form I-9 prior to this deadline.

The new Form I-9 updates the technological sophistication and greatly streamlines the entire process. Some highlights include:

  • Reduced instruction length from fifteen (15) pages to eight (8);
  • These instructions clearly define each actor in the process, and the steps each actor needs to take step by step;
  • Updated technological compatibility to allow for easier downloading and completion on all devices, including mobile phones and tablets;
  • Allows certain fields to be left blank instead of being rejected for not typing N/A;
  • Revised the Lists of Acceptable Documentation; and
  • Provides direct links to government resources within the document to answer questions that frequently come up during this process.

The new Form I-9 will greatly streamline the employment verification process, both for employers and new hires. The links below will take you to the updated Form I-9, as well as the instructions for completing it.
