March 2023: E-Verify Records Disposal

Update Applicable to:
All employers.

What happened and what are the details?
On June 24, 2023, USCIS will dispose of E‑Verify records that are more than 10 years old, which are those last updated on or before Dec. 31, 2012. E‑Verify employers have until June 23, 2023, to download case information from the Historic Records Report if they want to retain information about these E-Verify cases.

Employers who have not done so must record the E‑Verify case verification number on the corresponding Form I‑9, Employment Eligibility Verification, or attach a copy of the case details page to the Form I‑9. Employers should retain the Historic Records Report with Forms I‑9.

For more information and guidance on downloading the Historic Records Report, see the fact sheet and download instructions.
