On November 14th, 2016, the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) released a revised Form I-9 document to be used by all employers in 2017. The new form can be used immediately, but businesses are not required to utilize it until January 21st, 2017. The Form I-9 confirms the identity and work eligibility for all individuals who are hired by employers in the United States. Federal law requires that all employers recruiting, referring for a fee or hiring new employees complete the form.
Some of the changes for the new version include:
- Section 1 now asks for “other last names user” rather than “other names used”
- Addition of prompts ensuring the correct information is entered
- Ability to enter multiple translators and preparers
- Supplemental page for the preparer/translator
- Dedicated area to include additional information rather than adding it within the margins
Form I-9 versions dated 03/08/2013 are valid for use until the new date in January 2017.

Staying compliant is tough without an Applicant Tracking System that can automate, organize and manage the process.
