U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services updated the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification to extend the expiration date to 05/31/2027.
Employers must use the Form I-9 with the edition date of 08/1/23, which may have an expiration date of either 07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027. Either form may be used until its respective expiration date. Downloads available on the Form I-9 download page will only include the new 05/31/2027 expiration date.
Employers are encouraged to update their electronic Forms I-9 systems to use the 05/31/2027, expiration date as soon as possible and must do so no later than July 31, 2026, the expiration date on the previously-issued Form I-9.For more information, visit I-9 Central or join a free Form I-9 webinar.
In addition, E-Verify users creating cases using E-Verify+ will notice that the form generated is labeled Form I-9NG. This new Form I-9NG has the same fields as the Form I-9, although it has a new OMB control number, a 05/14/24 edition date, and a 05/31/2027 expiration date.
E-Verify+ participants must retain this Form I-9NG under the same retention requirements as the Form I-9. The Form I-9NG is not available outside of E-Verify+.
