New Form I-9 Released: What Employers Need to Know

USCIS released a new Form I-9 edition dated 10/21/2019. Here is when employers must switch to it and where to find the updated form.

On January 31, USCIS published a Form I-9 Federal Register notice announcing a new edition of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

Employers may use the 07/17/2017 edition through April 30. Starting May 1, employers may only use the new form with the 10/21/2019 edition date. The edition date is located in the lower left corner of the form.

A revised Spanish edition of Form I-9 with an edition date of 10/21/2019 is available for use in Puerto Rico only.

This post reflects guidance current at the time of its original publication in March 2020.
