Enrollment must be completed within a single web session. Refer to this checklist to ensure you have the required information before you begin.

When you enroll your company, you need to share some basic information and agree to follow the rules of E-Verify. You will enroll your company just once and, after you do, you can register yourself and others to use E-Verify. See the Enrollment Process – Overview below along with the explanation of each step in the process.
