On 4/2/25, USCIS announced that minor changes for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to align with statutory language. The revised I-9 Form has an edition date of 01/20/25 and an expiration date of 05/31/2027. The updated forms can be downloaded from USCIS's website. Previous versions of the form continue to be valid until their expiration dates. Updates to the form include:
- Renaming the fourth checkbox in Section 1 to "An alien authorized to work"
- Revising the descriptions of two List B documents in the List of Acceptable Documents
- Adding appropriate statutory language and a revised DHS Privacy Notice to the instructions.
If an employee attests on Form I-9 as "a noncitizen authorized to work," the employer must select "an alien authorized to work" in E-Verify.
