Demystifying I-9 Section 2 Changes: What Employers Need to Know

Watch Attorney Michael Neifach and Clear I-9 President, Melissa Prentice, in this informative webinar about compliant best practices for completing Section 2 of remote Form I-9s.


Form I-9 Section 2: What's Changed?


The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has officially announced the end of the Form I-9 virtual remote inspection flexibilities. Those flexibilities—originally issued to help employers navigate the challenges of conducting in-person inspections while maintaining social distancing guidelines—will end on August 30, 2023.


Employers will have until August 30, 2023, to comply with physical Form I-9 document inspection requirements.


Employers will be required to ensure that all I-9 forms are completed and maintained accurately, with no errors or omissions. Failure to comply with the new Form I-9 requirements could result in severe financial penalties and legal exposure.
