E-Verify now available in Fingercheck

If you’ve ever completed an I-9, opened the E-Verify portal, and immediately felt like you were entering a government escape room… you’re not alone.

Between re-entering employee data, hoping you didn’t mistype a Social Security number at 5 p.m. on a Friday, and refreshing the screen waiting for results, E-Verify has historically been… a journey. And when DHS throws a TNC (Tentative Nonconfirmation) your way? Cue frantic Googling and quiet panic.

Which is exactly why we built something better and easier for business owners.

E-Verify is now fully integrated into Fingercheck (powered by Sapphire)

That means:
– No more logging into the DHS portal
– No more retyping employee info
– No more guessing what to do when there’s a TNC
– No more sticky notes like “Remember to check case tomorrow”

Instead? You complete the I-9 in Fingercheck → click Request E-Verify → done. The system handles the case, tracks the result, and saves everything back to the employee record.

We built the workflow. Our partner Sapphire brings the compliance expertise and live support. Together, it’s a full end-to-end onboarding compliance solution that keeps you fast, accurate, and audit-ready

Why this matters right now

E-Verify is already required in states like Florida and for federal contractors, and more states are moving in that direction. AI-driven I-9 audits are becoming more common, and employers are expected to provide results within just three business days.

Industries with high turnover, like staffing, healthcare, and construction, can’t afford slow or error-prone workflows.
When used properly, E-Verify offers legal protection, but only if the process is clean, consistent, and fully documented.

Thousands of companies already complete I-9s in Fingercheck, and now they can add E-Verify directly into that same workflow without switching systems.
