![]() On August 1, 2023, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released the new version of the Form I-9, an integral document for employers that is used to verify the identity and authorization of individuals hired for employment in the U.S. The new Form I-9 and accompanying instructions have been redesigned to be easier for employers to use, with a clearer and more efficient layout. On the new Form I-9, you’ll find the following changes:
Remote Examination of Form I-9![]() One of the biggest changes employers will now see is the new checkbox allowing employers enrolled in E-Verify to take advantage of remote examination of Form I-9 documentation, which grants employers more flexibility in the Form I-9 verification process. Emily M. Dickens, SHRM’s chief of staff and head of public affairs, describes this new change as reflecting “the modern reality of the American workforce and HR processes and takes account of current and emerging technology—all while investing in the integrity and the security of the U.S. immigration system.” Employers can still use the previous version of the Form I-9 until October 31, 2023. After that date, the updated Form I-9 must be used. However, employers are encouraged to start implementing the new form I-9 as soon as practical. Avoiding Penalties and Ensuring Compliance with the New Form I-9![]() Despite some new flexibilities and a sleeker format, the rollout of the new Form I-9 does not mean that penalties and fines for noncompliance become lax. Mistakes or technical violations on I-9 forms can still cost employers big, ranging from $252-$2,507 for first offenses and $1,161-$2,322 for second and subsequent paperwork offenses per violation.
