Many states are extending the expiration date of state IDs and/or driver’s licenses. How should the extension be documented in Section 2?

If the employee’s state ID or driver’s license expired on or after March 1, 2020, and the state has extended the document expiration date due to COVID-19, then it is acceptable as a List B document for Form I-9. Enter the document’s expiration date in Section 2 and enter “COVID-19 EXT” in the Additional Information field. Employers may also attach a copy of the state motor vehicle department’s webpage or other notice indicating that their documents have been extended.

Employers can confirm that a state has auto-extended the expiration date of its state IDs and driver’s licenses by checking the state Motor Vehicle Administration or Department of Motor Vehicle’s website.
