USCIS encourages employers to begin using the new version as soon as possible, but the previous Form I-9 (edition date of 10-21-19) may be used through October 31. Starting November 1, all employers must use the 8-1-23 edition of Form I-9. Employers do not need to complete a new Form I-9 for current employees who already have a properly completed Form I-9 on file unless reverification applies to them after October 31, 2023. **Revisions to Form I-9** The following are some of the [**revisions**](https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/fact-sheets/FormI9SummaryofChangesFactSheet.pdf) to the Form I-9: - Sections 1 and 2 are now a single-sided sheet. - The Section 1 Preparer/Translator Certification area is now standalone Supplement A that employers can provide to employees when necessary. - Section 3, Reverification and Rehire, is now standalone Supplement B that employers can print for rehires or reverification. - The form has been redesigned to be fillable on tablets and mobile devices. - The notice at the top of Form I-9 was updated to explain how to avoid discrimination in the Form I-9 process. - The Lists of Acceptable Documents page has been redesigned. - The instructions have been reduced from 15 to eight pages. - The abbreviations charts were moved to the M-274, *Handbook for Employers: Guidance for Completing Form I-9*. - A new checkbox was added to allow certain employers to indicate they examined Form I-9 documentation remotely under a [**new alternative procedure**](https://payroll.org/news-resources/news/news-detail/2023/07/24/dhs-to-offer-option-to-examine-form-i-9-documents-on-august-1) rather than via physical examination.
