What is E-Verify+?
E-Verify+ is a service of E-Verify that streamlines employment eligibility verification by combining the Form I-9 and E-Verify into one seamless digital process.
When employers – and the employees they hire - complete the Federally required Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, they are playing an important role in verifying employees’ identity and legal authorization to work in the U.S.
Through E-Verify, an employee’s Form I-9 information is compared with records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration, giving added assurance that the Form I-9 information is true and accurate.
What are the benefits of using E-Verify+?
E-Verify+ gives you all the great benefits of E-Verify:
- Free and easy to use with 24-hour secure access; no special software needed.
- Peace of mind that your employees are legally authorized to work in the United States.
- Instant results – most case results returned in 3 to 5 seconds.
- Helps combat identity fraud via photo and Social Security number matching capabilities.
The “plus” provides additional benefits for employers and employees alike!

This prompts the employee to share their personal information and documentation electronically with their employer using their secure E-Verify+ account. The employer will review the information provided, examine the employee’s Form I-9 documents, sign and retain the Form I-9.
After an employee accepts a job offer, they will receive a unique link to the E-Verify+ case created by their employer. The employee will then log in or create an E-Verify+ account and enter their biographic information, citizenship or immigration status, and acceptable document(s). Once the employee submits that information, E-Verify will confirm the employee’s identity and employment eligibility and notify the employer. The employer will finish the verification by examining the documents and retaining the Form I-9.
No, E-Verify employers are allowed to decide which process they will use (the traditional E-Verify process or E-Verify+).
Not always. A key feature of E-Verify+ allows employees to save their information in their E-Verify+ account to be used for future E-Verify+ participating employers. Once they receive their unique reference code from a new employer, the employee can simply update their information if necessary and complete the E-Verify+ process with their new employer.
If the employee receives a mismatch result, the system will notify the employee of the result directly and provide detailed instructions on the next steps.
