USCIS issued a final reminder that the previous policy allowing the use of expired List B identity documents is coming to an end on July 31. As such, all individuals who used expired documents from List B to comply with Form I-9 must provide valid and current documents.

USCIS Reminder:

DHS adopted the temporary policy in response to the difficulties many individuals experienced with renewing documents during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Now that document‑issuing authorities have reopened and/or provided alternatives to in‑person renewals, DHS ended this flexibility on May 1, 2022 and employers must only accept unexpired List B documents.

If an employee presented an expired List B document between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022, employers are required to update their Forms I‑9 by July 31, 2022. See table below for update requirements.
