Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a new version of its Employment Eligibility Verification form, also known as Form I-9. Employers are required to use the new form exclusively beginning on Nov. 1, 2023. The Form I-9 instructions also clarify procedures for employers who are eligible to utilize remote examination as an alternative to the physical examination of employees’ documentation. Employers enrolled and participating in E-Verify may choose to examine documents remotely.
