- When copying a blank Form I-9, it is important to include the 2nd page that lists acceptable documents. The Form I-9 Form is considered incomplete without the 2nd page and can result in a fine.
- Any changes/corrections to an existing I-9 form must be done by striking through, correcting and having employer and employee initial the changes.
- If a Form I-9 is incomplete or needs correcting, it is acceptable to use an updated form and attach it to the original.
- Employee name changes require completion of either Section 3 or a new Form I-9, but changes of address do not.
- The date entered in Section 2 as the date the employee began work for pay must match the date in the payroll records.
- Several versions of the Form I-9 have been issued since the form was first introduced in 1987. Not all versions are valid for use. Currently, only forms showing the following revision dates are valid:
- Rev. 08/07/09 Y
- Rev. 02/02/09 N
