Top I-9 Mistakes and How to Fix Them

Posted by: Mackenzie Cowan, HR Generalist on Monday, July 21, 2025

Self-auditing I-9s has become a high priority for 2025, as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is increasing the number of I-9 audits conducted. A self-audit of Form I-9s is an internal review of I-9s to identify and correct errors or compliance issues. If you have not yet conducted a self-audit, or if it has been several years since you have done so, it’s highly recommended that you do that now. Identifying and correcting mistakes prior to an ICE audit can help you avoid penalties, which can be based on the number of violations found during the audit.
