Can my company’s E-Verify client account be closed in less than 30 days?

The E-Verify MOU states than an account may be terminated at any time upon 30 days prior written notice. Under certain circumstances, an E-Verify client account may be closed prior to the end of the 30-day period. Those circumstances include:

• The company no longer exists;
• Closing the account is necessary to protect the account from unauthorized access;
• A company has duplicate or unnecessary accounts;
• A company needs to re-enroll in order to change its E-Verify access method; or
• E-Verify determines that closing an account before 30 days is necessary based on the requirements of law or policy.

To request that your E-Verify account be closed prior to 30 days from your notice of termination based on one of these circumstances, your company’s E-Verify employer agent or an authorized representative of your company must make a written request to E-Verify.

Closing E-Verify accounts prior to the end of the 30-day period is at the discretion of E-Verify.
