Employers should start using immediately the revised I-9 Form now available from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). 

All employers are required to complete a Form I-9 for each employee hired in the United States and should now use the revised I-9 Form now available.  Employers who use the outdated editions of the I-9 are subject to fines and penalties.

The changes to the form are as follows:
Five documents have been removed from List A of the List of Acceptable Documents:

• Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (Form N-560 or N-561)
• Certificate of Naturalization (Form N-550 or N-570)
• Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151)
• Unexpired Reentry Permit (Form I-327)
• Unexpired Refugee Travel Document (Form I-571)

One document was added to List A of the List of Acceptable Documents:

• Unexpired Employment Authorization Document (I-766)

All the Employment Authorization Documents with photographs in circulation are now included as one item on List A:

• I-688, I688A, I-688B, I-766

Instructions regarding Section 1 of the I-9 now indicate that the employee is not obliged to provide the Social Security Number in Section 1, unless he or she is employed by an employer who participates in E-Verify.  The section on Photocopying and Retaining Form I-9 now includes information about electronically signing and retaining the forms.

You may use the links below to download the new form and more detailed information about the revisions.  You may also access the form from the Members Only section of the WRA website www.wirestaurant.org.  You may purchase the I-9 form (sets of 50 for $7 plus sales tax) by calling the WRA at 800-589-3211.
