Employers can Temporarily Accept Certain Expired Identity Documents
As of May 1, 2020, Employers can temporarily accept Employees’ expired Identity Documents (List B documents) for documents that expired on or after March 1, 2020. This is because of COVID-19 related DMV shut-downs. Employers Should Record the Applicable Expired Identity Documents as Receipts on the Form I-9
If an employee presents an otherwise valid List B document that expired on or after March 1, 2020, the employer can treat this document as a valid receipt, meaning it is valid for 90 days. The I-9 should be updated with the employee’s new document once the employee receives their new document. I-9 Administrator Certification & Training
ICE Best Practices includes Employers completing annual I-9 administrator and certification training. If your I-9 administrators have not gone through training on the new I9, now is the time to have them trained by I-9 experts.
