Starting May 1, employers will no longer be able to accept expired identity documents for verifying work eligibility on the I-9 Form.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending its temporary COVID-19-related policy of allowing employers to use expired List B identity documents for I-9 purposes.

List B identity documents include driver's licenses and state ID cards.

If an employee presented an expired List B document between May 1, 2020 and April 30, 2022, employers are required to update their Forms I-9 by July 31, 2022.

Is still employed. Have the employee provide an unexpired document that establishes identity. Employees may present the renewed List B document, a different List B document or a document from List A. In the “Additional Information” field of Section 2, the employer enters the document: Title, Issuing authority, Number, and Expiration date. The employer initials and dates the change. See example.

The List B document was auto extended by the issuing authority, so it was unexpired when presented. No action is required because the document was unexpired when presented.
