Employers will have to use a new I-9 Form beginning on February 2, 2009. The new Form includes changes to the types of documents that may be accepted to demonstrate identity and employment authorization.  The modifications include: 

All documents must be unexpired. In the past an expired passport was acceptable.

List A documents no longer include Form I-688 Temporary Resident Cards; Form  I-688A Employment Authorization Card; and Form I-688B Employment Authorization Card.

List A will now include certain foreign passports containing machine-readable immigrant visas and the new U.S. Passport Card.

The new I-9 Form is scheduled to be available on the USCIS website on February 2.   Go to:  www.uscis.gov .
