Iowa joins program connecting DMV information to E-Verify

Records and Information from DMVs for the Iowa E-Verify (RIDE) program, joining Florida, Idaho, and Mississippi. RIDE enhances Iowa E-Verify submissions and helps to reduce document fraud by verifying driver’s license and ID card information against state records. RIDE automates motor vehicle document verification between Motor Vehicle Agencies (MVAs) and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The program allows USCIS E-Verify employers to verify their new employee’s driver’s license, permit, or state-issued ID with the issuing U.S. jurisdiction. The E-Verify system verifies the data and responds to the E-Verify user whether the submitted information matches with the MVA data or not. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) notes that currently only government agencies and contractors are required to participate in E-Verify. When job seekers fill out the I-9 form they are required to supply a document that establishes identity and employment. Often applicants choose to provide a driver’s license, so the program is intended to make the E-Verify process more efficient. What is E-Verify? E-Verify is a program operated by USCIS and the Social Security Administration (SSA) which allows an employer to electronically check information that a newly hired employee would submit on their Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9) against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases.]]>
