I-9: Employers Must Start Using New Form by May 1

Rev. May 1, 2020
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a new version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The new form must be used starting May 1, 2020.
Employers must use only the new form with the 10/21/2019 version date. The version date is located in the lower left corner of the form.
The changes are relatively minor and are found mostly in the new instructions, which:
- clarify who can act as an authorized representative on behalf of an employer;
- update USCIS website addresses;
- provide clarifications on acceptable documents for Form I-9;
- update the process for requesting paper Forms I-9; and
- update the DHS Privacy Notice
For more information and links to related documents, visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov/i-9.
