As HRInformant previously reported, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently revised the Form I-9. The USCIS also publishes a handbook with useful information for employers to assist them in completing the Form I-9.

The USCIS updated the Handbook for Employers, Guidance for Completing the Form I-9 (M-274) to include information about the revised Form I-9. 

According to the USCIS, helpful new images have been added to the Handbookto illustrate how employees and employers can complete Sections 1-3 of the new form. The Handbook also contains updated guidance on recording changes of name and other identity information.
