Old E-Verify Records Scheduled for Disposal

USCIS has issued the following notice: 

EVerify employers have until Jan. 4, 2026, to download records for EVerify cases last updated on or before Dec. 31, 2015. On Jan. 5, 2026, USCIS will dispose of these EVerify records that are more than 10 years old. 

Program administrators can download the Historical Records Report to retain information about these EVerify cases. The case data includes basic company information as well as case identifiers and case resolution information. 

Employers who have not already done so must record the EVerify case verification number on each corresponding Form I9, Employment Eligibility Verification, or attach a copy of the case details page to the Form I9. Employers should retain the Historical Records Report with the Forms I9.
