I-9 Expired Driver's License" description: "" url: "https://wimlaw.com/publications/newsletters/expired-i-9-documents-unacceptable" date: "2026-05-29T21:46:30+00:00" language: "en-US" --- # Employers Will No Longer Be Allowed to Accept Expired Documents for Form I-9 Written on April 27, 2022. *Tag(s):* [May 2022 Newsletter](https://wimlaw.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=24:may-2022-newsletter) As of May 1, 2022, employers should not accept expired List B documents (e.g., driver's license) as proof of identity for purposes of Form I-9. If employers completed Form I-9 between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022, using an expired List B document, employers need to update Form I-9 with an unexpired document from List A or List B by July 31, 2022. If the employee is no longer employed, no action is needed. This is part of our May 2022 Newsletter.
