On March 31, 2016 United States Citizenship and Immigration Services advised that until further notice, employers should continue using the current version of the employment eligibility verification form I-9 (03/08/13 edition) even after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number expiration date of March 31, 2016, has passed. The form I-9 edition number is found in the bottom left corner of the form I-9 and instructions. The OMB control number is found in the top right corner of the first page of the form I-9 and Instructions.
The USCIS website states that previous editions of the form I-9 are not acceptable and that a new edition of the form I-9 is coming soon. USCIS states that it will provide updated information about the new version of form I-9 as it becomes available.
Employers must complete form I-9 for all newly hired employees to verify their identity and authorization to work in the U.S.
