E-VERIFY DESIGNATED AGENT

Update: Our improved software platform (CIware 2.0) includes an all-inclusive online system to easily manage I9 applicant invitations, track status, and view reports. All these features are accessible on your main dashboard.

An E-Verify Designated Agent is a liaison between E-Verify and employers who choose to outsource submission of employment eligibility verification queries for newly hired employees. E-Verify Designated Agents conduct the verification process for other employers or clients.

An E-Verify Designated Agent must register online and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SSA and DHS. Once the MOU is approved, the E-Verify Designated Agent can then begin registering employers and clients who have designated it to perform their verification services.

The I-9 has been required by the U.S. Government for years. Since September 11, 2001, new procedures have been developed by the Federal Department of Homeland Security that provide additional checks to verify the Verify (formerly known as the Basic Pilot and/or Employment Eligibility Verification Program) is an internet based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees electronically.

E-Verify is the best resource available for determining employment eligibility and the validity of Social Security Numbers once an applicant has been hired. During the pre-employment Background Investigation the SSN & Address Information inquiry is utilized to provide some identity verification.

The E-Verify free web-based system requires a mandatory online tutorial, which can take hours to complete. It can
also be a challenge to maneuver when the system leads to no match of the SSN and name. E-Verify and Electronic I-9s are separate from pre-employment Background Investigations because it can only occur post-hire. You can utilize an E-Verify Designated Agent, such as Commercial Investigations LLC, to assist in managing your Electronic I-9s and conduct your E-Verify inquiries.
