| Purpose | E-Verify lets enrolled employers electronically confirm newly hired employees’ eligibility to work in the United States by comparing Form I-9 information with records available to DHS and/or SSA. | The service lets employers check a job applicant’s right to work in the UK. |
| Support | The E-Verify Contact Center assists with system use, password resets, cases, technical support, policies, procedures, Form I-9, and employment eligibility questions, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. | The page lists the Employer Enquiry helpline, available Monday to Thursday from 9am to 4:45pm and Friday from 9am to 4:30pm. |
E-Verify is for U.S. employers seeking to check newly hired employees’ work eligibility through Form I-9 information and government records. It also suits employers and agents prepared to use web enrollment or develop software for the Web Services interface.
It suits UK employers checking applicants’ permission to work, especially those handling time-limited permission or manual document checks. Employers hiring British or Irish citizens need another checking route because those citizens cannot obtain share codes.
