The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/document\/forms\/i-9.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revised <\/a>Form I-9 is dated \u201c01\/20\/25\u201d and expires \u201c05\/31\/2027.\u201d Notably, multiple previous editions of Form I-9 remain valid until their respective expiration dates.\n<h4>Background<\/h4>\nThe Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires all employers to hire only individuals who may legally work in the United States. To comply with the law, employers must verify an individual\u2019s identity and employment authorization by completing and retaining Form I-9.\n<h4>Key Updates<\/h4>\nKey updates to Form I-9 include:\n<div class=\"col-grd\">\n<div class=\"col-1\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>Renaming the fourth checkbox in Section 1 to \u201cAn alien authorized to work;\u201d<\/li>\n \t<li>Changing \u201cgender\u201d to \u201csex\u201d in the description of the first two documents in \u201cList B of Acceptable Documents;\u201d and<\/li>\n \t<li>Adding statutory language and a revised DHS Privacy Notice to the instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nStarting April 3, 2025, the Citizenship Status selection during case creation in E-Verify and E-Verify+ will change from \u201cA noncitizen authorized to work\u201d to \u201cAn alien authorized to work.\u201d However, employers should note that if an employee attests on Form I-9 as \u201cA noncitizen authorized to work,\u201d the employer must select \u201cAn alien authorized to work\u201d in E-Verify. E-Verify cases will display \u201cAn alien authorized to work\u201d while employees and employers may continue to see \u201cA noncitizen authorized to work\u201d on Form I-9, depending on the form edition.\n<h4>Employer Takeaway<\/h4>\nThe updated Form I-9 is currently available for employers to use. Additionally, employers may continue to use prior editions of the form until their respective expiration dates, as follows:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Form I-9 (08\/01\/23 edition) is valid until May 31, 2027; and<\/li>\n \t<li>Form I-9 (08\/01\/23 edition) is valid until July 31, 2026 (employers using this form must update their electronic systems with the May 31, 2027, expiration date by July 31, 2026).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEmployers should ensure that the updated Form I-9 is incorporated into their employment verification process by July 31, 2026.
