The 2025 I-9 penalty structure includes three categories of violations with inflation-adjusted amounts. I-9 paperwork violations range from $288 to $2,861 per form for incomplete or incorrect Section 1, Section 2, or Section 3 entries, missing signatures, incorrect dates, or failure to retain completed forms for the required period. Knowing hire violations for employing unauthorized workers range from $716 to $28,619 per employee depending on repeat offense history and whether the violation was a first offense, second offense, or pattern of practice. Document fraud violations for accepting fraudulent documents, failing to properly examine identity documents, or requesting specific documents instead of allowing employee choice range from $590 to $11,823 per violation.

These penalties are adjusted annually for inflation per the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act and apply to all employers regardless of company size or industry. ICE can impose multiple violation types on a single employee's I-9 form—for example, a paperwork violation AND a knowing hire violation—resulting in combined penalties exceeding $31,000 for one employee. First-time offenders typically receive penalties at the lower end of the range, while employers with prior violations, patterns of non-compliance, or evidence of discriminatory practices face maximum penalties plus potential criminal prosecution.
