The form's version date can be found at the bottom corner of the form.

Further, in light of the COVID 19 pandemic, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced flexibility in certain requirements, including permitting remote inspection of identity and employment authorization documents. DHS guidelines will allow for remote physical inspection of Section 2 I-9 documents, with certain procedures and steps to be followed (such as indication of remote inspection due to COVID 19, and evidence of company telework policy in light of current circumstances). If I-9 inspection is conducted remotely, employers must follow-up with physical inspection when normal operations resume.
Of course, as additional details become available regarding the above, we will provide regular updates.
