E-Verify is available on the Internet using a Web-based access method. This allows
employers to use the system from any personal computer with access to the Internet. Once
an employer has enrolled, registered its users, and completed the Web-based tutorial, it
can immediately begin using E-Verify. To enroll, go to https://www.e-verify.gov and follow
the instructions.
Employers enroll on the Internet. Employers interested in using E-Verify need to enroll on
the Internet, electronically agree to and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
DHS, and register those who will use the program. This gives the user access to the automated Verification of Information System (VIS), which checks the SSA and DHS databases
to verify employment authorization. Instructions are provided for completing, signing, and
submitting the MOU. Individuals will receive confirmation of his or her company's participation in E-Verify via email, and, at the same time, will be provided with a user ID and temporary password. Users must log in to E-Verify at least once every 270 days (about 9 months)
to avoid deactivation.
Internet training. E-Verify is extremely user-friendly and has mouse-over text helpers
to provide hints while entering your queries, e.g., entering complex surnames. New users
must complete the Web-based tutorial (WBT). Once the WBT is completed, the system is
immediately available for performing verification queries.
Updates via mobile device and email. E-Verify users can receive E-Verify updates on
mobile devices or via email. Users should text "updates" to 468311 for SMS updates.
To receive updates by email, text "updates" and an email address to 468311. Program
updates will include information on upcoming webinars, issues of the E-Verify Connection
newsletter, information on myEVerify, and updates on Form I-9.21
User types. Two user types have been created for E-Verify. Depending on the user type
you select, you will be able to perform different functions, e.g., perform queries, manage
your account, and view reports. You will only be able to access information relating to your
company site. Following is a description of each user type:

Program Administrator - Every E-Verify account must have one program
administrator who provides support for the general user and manages the
company profile. This user is responsible for: registering new users, creating
users for other program administrators and general users; creating and managing cases; unlocking user accounts; updating profile information; viewing
reports; and closing company accounts. Since the program administrator may
be the only person at your site using the system, he or she also may have the
capability to perform queries.
