# Bulk downloading Form I-9s
As of February 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun increasing the frequency of Form I-9 compliance audits, including unannounced on-site visits. All employers should be aware of patterns and trends within their industries and be prepared to provide their Form I-9s in the event of an audit.
**If you have more than 25 Form I-9s digitally stored in CareerPlug, please [submit a request](https://support.careerplug.com/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en) to our Hiring Expert team.** This request must include the credentials and approval of the business owner.
However, if you only need to download a small number of individual digital forms, you can easily do so yourself.
**Note:** CareerPlug does not offer legal advice. If you have specific questions or concerns, the [National Immigation Law Center](https://www.nilc.org/resources/a-guide-for-employers-what-to-do-if-immigration-comes-to-your-workplace/) recommends seeking legal counsel.
