The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently released a new version of Form I-9. Employers must use only the new version beginning Jan. 22, 2017.
The new I-9 form can be downloaded HERE.
Among the changes in the new version, Section 1 asks for “other last names used” rather than “other names used,” and streamlines certification for certain foreign nationals.
Other changes include:
- The addition of prompts to ensure information is entered correctly.
- The ability to enter multiple preparers and translators.
- A dedicated area for including additional information rather than having to add it in the margins.
- A supplemental page for the preparer/translator.
