Employers Must Use Revised Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form
USCIS Will not Accept Previous Versions of Form I-9 as of May 7, 2013
USCIS reminds employers that beginning today, May 7, 2013, they must use the revised Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Revision 03/08/13)N for all new hires and reverifications. All employers are required to complete and retain a Form I-9 for each employee hired to work in the United States.
The revision date of the new Form I-9 is printed on the lower left corner of the form. Employers should not complete a new Form I-9 for existing employees, however, if a properly completed Form I-9 is already on file.
A Spanish version of Form I-9 (revision 03/08/13)N is available on the USCIS website for use in Puerto Rico only. Spanish-speaking employers and employees in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. territories may use the Spanish version for reference, but must complete and retain the English version of the form.
The revised forms are available online at www.uscis.gov/I-9. USCIS has also offering free webinars to help employers learn about the new form. To order forms, call USCIS toll-free at 1-800-870-3676. For free downloadable forms and information on USCIS programs, immigration laws, regulations, and procedures, please visit www.uscis.gov and go to the ‘forms’ menu or I-9 Central
