Dept. of Homeland Security launches E-Verify Self Check

Online tool allows workers to check their own employment authorization status


Dept. of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have launched E-Verify Self Check, a service that allows individuals in the U.S. to check their employment eligibility status before formally seeking employment. It also provides an opportunity to submit corrections to their DHS and SSA records, if necessary, before applying for jobs.
E-Verify Self Check is the first online E-Verify program offered directly to workers and job seekers. This voluntary, free, fast and secure service was developed through a partnership between DHS and the Social Security Administration.
As of March 21, E-Verify Self Check is available to users who maintain an address and are physically located in Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Mississippi, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
