1.0 Introduction

This guide provides a high level overview of the E-Verify process that E-Verify employer agents must follow when using E-Verify on behalf of their clients. E-Verify employer agents must follow the guidelines set forth in the E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding for E-Verify Employer Agents and use this guide as a supplement to the E‑Verify User Manual.

For purposes of this manual, the term “E-Verify employer agent” means any person, company, or other entity that provides the service of using E-Verify to confirm employment eligibility of employees of third-party employers (or clients). Clients are required to complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, for all new employees and must follow the guidelines set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding for Employers Using an E-Verify Employer Agent (or client MOU).
