No, employers cannot use outdated I-9 forms after March 31, 2025. The new Form I-9 version becomes mandatory on March 31, 2025, and using any previous version after this date results in automatic paperwork violations with penalties ranging from $288 to $2,861 per form regardless of whether the old form was otherwise completed correctly. USCIS issues updated I-9 forms periodically to add security features, clarify instructions, update acceptable document lists, and incorporate regulatory changes—and employers must transition to the new version by the enforcement date printed on the form itself.

The March 31, 2025 deadline applies to all new hires, rehires, and reverifications (Section 3 updates) processed on or after that date. Forms completed before March 31, 2025 using the previous version remain valid and do not need to be redone, but any I-9 completed on or after the deadline must use the updated form. Employers should immediately download the new I-9 from uscis.gov/i-9, update HR systems and onboarding software, train staff on any new fields or instructions, and dispose of old blank forms to prevent accidental use. During ICE audits, use of an outdated form is one of the most common violations and demonstrates lack of due diligence in maintaining compliant employment practices.
