• Before enrolling in the E-Verify system, several steps need to be taken to ensure the enrollment process is completed in a single website session.
• Employers should avoid attempting to enroll a company that has already been enrolled, as this can cause significant delays.

Employers who participate in the program can register for E-Verify online. Once the enrollment process is complete, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will review the information and activate the account. After the account is activated, the employer will receive an email with login instructions, user ID, and password.

Before enrolling, employers must ensure that the company is not already enrolled. Attempting to enroll a company that has already been enrolled can result in significant delays.

To enroll in E-Verify, an employer must be able to answer several questions. Additionally, the enrollment process must be completed in a single website session; users may not return to an enrollment session and complete it at a later date. As such, users should refer to the following checklist to ensure they have all the information necessary to complete the enrollment process.

Before a company enrolls, it must decide:

• Who will electronically sign the E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on behalf of the company?
• Which hiring sites will participate in E-Verify?
• If the employer is a federal contractor with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)E-Verify clause, which employees will it verify?
• Which company location(s) will access E-Verify? Who in the company will have access to E-Verify?
• Who in the company should be a program administrator?

To enroll, users will need to know:

• Contact information for the company’s E-Verify MOU signatory (name, phone number, fax number, and email address);
• Company name;
• “Doing business as” name (optional);
• Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number (optional);
• The physical address of the location from which the company will access E-Verify (including county);
• Company mailing address (if different from the physical address);
• Employer identification number (also called a federal Tax ID Number);
• Total number of employees for all of the company’s hiring sites that will participate in E-Verify;
• Parent organization (optional);
• Administrator name (E-Verify corporate account) (optional);
• The first three digits of the company’s primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (the E-Verify system can help users find this number during enrollment); and
• The number of hiring sites that will participate in E-Verify in each state.

For all registered users, the company must provide:

• Name,
• Phone number,
• Fax number (optional), and
• Email address.
