Is E-Verify Included With I-9 Verification?

What is E-Verify, and is it included with my I-9 Verification appointment?

E-Verify is a web-based system operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration. Participating employers use it to electronically compare information from an employee's completed Form I-9 with government records.

E-Verify is separate from Form I-9 Employment Verification and is not automatically included with your standard I-9 Verification appointment.

During a standard I-9 appointment, B. Elise Notary Services acts as the employer's Authorized Representative to complete the applicable Form I-9 verification process according to the employer's instructions. This may include examining acceptable documents and completing an employer-provided paper or electronic I-9 process.

If an employer specifically engages B. Elise Notary Services for E-Verify Employer Agent services, that is a separate service.
