Special Instructions to Form I-9

Notice regarding expiration of control number on Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification:
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number on the current Form I-9 expired March 31, 2007. USCIS is working on issuing a Form I-9 with an updated control number. This expiration does not affect employers' requirement to comply with employment eligibility verification responsibilities, and employers should continue to use this current version of the Form I-9 until an updated form is posted.

This version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, is a fillable form. You should have the latest version of the free Adobe Reader to use the form.

Please note the following changes to the Form I-9 process:

• Form I-766 (Employment Authorization Document), although not listed on the 5/31/05 version of the Form I-9, is an acceptable List A document #10.
• Form I-151 is no longer an acceptable List A document #5. However, Form I-551 remains an acceptable List A document #5.
• The following documents have been removed from the list of acceptable identity and work authorization documents: Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (List A #2), Certificate of Naturalization (List A #3), Unexpired Reentry Permit (List A #8) and Unexpired Refugee Travel Document (List A #9).
