What’s Hot in E-Verify
E-Verify Has Expanded Photo Matching!
E-Verify has launched a new U.S. Passport photo matching capability. Employers using E-Verify can now view photos to help confirm the validity of identity documents. Available documents include:
- U.S. Passports and Passport Cards
- Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards)
- Employment Authorization Documents
Visit our website for more information about Photo Matching.
Did You Hear About the I E-Verify Seal?
Employers who use E-Verify can now prominently display the official I E-Verify™ seal at their workplace—on bulletin boards, doors or windows. E-Verify enrollees who would like a seal can send a request to uscis.verlogo@dhs.gov.
Designated Agents Get a New Name
The name “E-Verify Employer Agent” has replaced “Designated Agent” to refer to businesses that use E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of another company’s employees.
Puerto Rico Birth Certificate Guidance
On July 1, 2010, the Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico began issuing new, more secure, certified copies of birth certificates to U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico. After Oct. 30, 2010, all certified copies of birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, became invalid. This new law does not affect the U.S. citizenship status of individuals born in Puerto Rico. It only affects the validity of certified copies of Puerto Rico birth certificates. See the USCIS Update for more information.
New on the E-Verify Website
Updated Manuals are now available
The latest E-Verify guidance can be easily downloaded or viewed online. E-Verify User Manuals, Quick Reference and Supplemental Guides for Employers, Federal Contractors, and E-Verify Employer Agents (formally Designated Agents) were all updated in September and are available on our Publications web page.
How Well is E-Verify Performing?
E-Verify recently updated the Statistics and Reports page on the web site. The updated statistics are based on E-Verify cases in Fiscal Year 2009 (October 2008 through September 2009).
