U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has published the new Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 with new revision date of 3/08/2013. 
The new I-9 form was published on March 8, 2013 and should be used beginning May 7, 2013, at the latest.
The key changes include:
- Adding data fields, including the employee’s foreign passport information (if applicable), telephone numbers and email addresses. The telephone and e-mail are optional.
- Improving the form’s instructions, including more definitions.
- Revising the layout of the form. The new I-9 has been expanded from one page to two, not including the instructions and the List of Acceptable Documents).
Employers should begin using the new Form to comply with their employment eligibility verification responsibilities.
After May 7, 2013 no prior versions of Form I-9 will be acceptable.
During the transition time from March 8 to May 7, 2013, employers should take time to train managers and employees on completing the Form and to adapt information your systems to the changes. Additionally, an updated “Handbook for Employers” (M-274) will be published to provide guidance to employers on completing the Form I-9.
