Thank you Julie and Cynthia, I have a couple of name changes and this alerted me to make the change. I am really busy with year end but plan to check out the Employee’s Handbook mentioned by Cynthis earlier. Somtimes I get lost in the details of government documentation which is why these conversations are valuable.

Julie…You don’t need to have them complete an new form. You just update the information in Section 3. You enter their new name and then sign and date the form at the bottom. The employee does have to show you proof of the name change and it must be one of the documents on the back of the I-9.

Some of our female employees have been married since filling out the I-9 form several years ago. Do we need to have them fill out another form with their married names?

Does anybody know if it is acceptable to cross out info. on I-9 form if it is written in the wrong column & put in correct column? or white-out?

Jamie,

Check the employers handbook mentioned in an earlier posting. There is an explanation on what information is which sections can be corrected and what can not, there is also a requirement to date and initial corrections. Writing a memo like Joanne suggested is also a great idea.
