USCIS Updates Form I-9, but No Immediate Action Required
Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released an updated version of Form I-9. The new Form I-9 has the following changes: The term "noncitizen" was replaced with "alien", the term "gender" was replaced with "sex", a new edition date of 1/20/25. Employers can continue using previous versions of the Form, as the updates primarily involve minor terminology changes. These changes are also reflected in the E-Verify system.

Use of the new Form is currently optional; no immediate action is required. The previous versions of Form I-9 (both with an edition date of 8/1/23) remain valid through their respective expiration dates in 2026 and 2027.
