30 Day Notice

47892

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 25, 2023 / Notices

comment on additional potential
changes to the Form I–9. See 87 FR
50786, 50793 (Aug. 18, 2022).
Specifically, DHS proposed to create a
framework under which the Secretary of
Homeland Security may, as an optional
alternative to the regulatory in-person
physical document examination method
that employers have used to examine
employees’ Form I–9 documents,
authorize alternative document
examination procedures, such as for
remote document examination. As part
of this proposal, DHS proposed to add
a checkbox to the Form I–9, which an
employer would use to indicate their
use of an alternative document
examination procedure. In this issue of
the Federal Register, DHS published a
final rule on this topic as well as an
accompanying document authorizing an
alternative procedure for document
examination. Consistent with the final
rule, the newly updated Form I–9
contains such a checkbox.

II. Changes to Form I–9
The newly updated Form I–9 contains
myriad revisions to the form and its
instructions to streamline these
materials and reduce employer and
employee burden associated with the
form.
USCIS made the following updates to
the Form I–9:
• Reduced Sections 1 and 2 to a
single-sided sheet. No previous fields
were removed. Rather, multiple fields
were merged into fewer fields when
possible.
• Moved the Section 1 Preparer/
Translator Certification area to a
separate, standalone supplement
(Supplement A) that employers can
provide to employees when necessary.
Employers may attach additional
supplement sheets as needed.
• Moved the Section 3 Reverification
and Rehire area to a separate,
standalone supplement (Supplement B)
that employers can print if or when
rehire occurs or reverification is
required. Employers may attach
additional supplement sheets as
necessary.
• Removed use of ‘‘alien authorized
to work’’ in Section 1 and replaced it
with ‘‘noncitizen authorized to work’’ as
well as clarified the difference between
‘‘noncitizen national’’ and ‘‘noncitizen
authorized to work.’’
• Ensured the form can be filled out
on tablets and mobile devices.
• Removed certain features to ensure
the form can be downloaded easily. This
also removes the requirement to enter
N/A in certain fields.

Jkt 259001

• Updated the notice at the top of the
Form I–9 that explains how to avoid
discrimination in the Form I–9 process.
• Revised the Lists of Acceptable
Documents page to include some
acceptable receipts as well as guidance
and links to information on automatic
extensions of employment authorization
documentation.
• Added a box that eligible employers
must check if the employee’s Form I–9
documentation was examined under a
DHS-authorized alternative procedure
rather than via physical examination.
USCIS updated the following in the
Form I–9 instructions:
• Reduced length of instructions from
15 pages to 8 pages.
• Added definitions of key actors in
the Form I–9 process.
• Streamlined the steps each actor
takes to complete their section of the
form.
• Added instructions for use of the
new checkbox for employers who
choose to examine Form I–9
documentation under an alternative
procedure.
• Removed the abbreviations charts
and relocated them to the M–274,
Handbook for Employers: Guidance for
Completing Form I–9.
III. Use of the Updated Form I–9
In this Notice, USCIS is announcing
that as of August 1, 2023, employers
should begin using Form I–9 with a
version date of ‘‘(Rev. 08/01/23)’’ to
comply with their employment
eligibility verification responsibilities.
The version date is located in the
bottom corner of the form.
Employers may continue using the
prior version of Form I–9 (Rev. 10/21/
19) through October 31, 2023. USCIS is
allowing employers this additional time
to make necessary updates and adjust
their business processes. After October
31, 2023, the prior version of Form I–
9 will be obsolete and no longer valid
for use. The public can download the
current Form I–9 from www.uscis.gov/i9. Beginning November 1, 2023,
employers who fail to use Form I–9
(Rev. 08/01/23) may be subject to all
applicable penalties under section 274A
of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), 8 U.S.C. 1324a, as enforced by
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).
Employers do not need to complete
the new Form I–9 (Rev. 08/01/23) for
current employees who already have a
properly completed Form I–9 on file,
unless reverification applies after
October 31, 2023. Unnecessary
verification may violate the INA’s antidiscrimination provision, section 274B

of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1324b, which is
enforced by IER.
IV. Obtaining Form I–9 (Rev. 08/01/
2023)
An exemplar of the revised Form I–9
can be viewed at www.regulations.gov
under the docket for this notice [CIS No.
2532–13; DHS Docket No. USCIS–2006–
0068]. Starting on August 1, 2023,
employers may download the new Form
I–9 (Rev. 08/01/23) from the USCIS
website at www.uscis.gov/i-9. Employers
can order the paper Form I–9 at
www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-by-mail. For
more information, the public can
contact the USCIS Contact Center at
800–375–5283 or visit USCIS’ I–9
Central web page at www.uscis.gov/i9central.
A Spanish-language version of the
new Form I–9 is also available at
www.uscis.gov/i-9 for use in Puerto Rico
only.
