E–verify

E-Verify is a free Internet-based system that allows employers to confirm the legal working status of new hires in seconds.  Operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-verify provides an automated link to federal databases to help employers determine employment eligibility of new hires  With one click, E-Verify can match your new hire's Social Security Number and other Form I-9 information.

E-Verify reduces unauthorized employment, minimizes verification-related discrimination, is quick and non-burdensome to employers, and protects civil liberties and employee privacy.
Initial verification returns results within 3 to 5 seconds.
