The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated Form I-9 used for Employment Eligibility Verification, extending its expiration date to 05/31/2027. Employers must now use the Form I-9 with the edition date of 08/01/23, which may have expiration dates of either 07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027. Either form can be used until its respective expiration date, but only the new 05/31/2027 version is available on the Form I-9 download page.
Employers should update their electronic Forms I-9 systems to the new 05/31/2027 expiration date as soon as possible and must do so by July 31, 2026, the expiration date of the previous Form I-9.
Staying ahead of these updates ensures compliance with federal regulations, helping employers avoid fines and legal issues.
