On Sept. 22, 2026, E-Verify made Interface Control Agreement (ICA) version 32 (v32) publicly available to all web services developers. ICA v32 introduces several enhancements, including:
-
Hiring Site Management
- Supports the new requirement to provide a hiring site with each case by adding endpoints for single hiring site creation, reading, updating, and deleting.
- Allows searching by city and state.
-
Web-Based ICA Documentation:
- Consolidates documentation into a single web-based resource, replacing multiple PDF documents; and
- Swagger remains available.
-
Optional Client Company Account Enrollment for Employer Agents:
- Enables employer agents to automate the client company account enrollment process.
-
Expanded Field Requirements and Guidance:
- Provides new libraries of field requirements and helper text to help developers and end users understand the requirements for information collected for case creation.
-
Added Case Payload Collections:
- Includes a header for software name, hiring site location, and remote document examination indicator to meet program and regulatory requirements.
Web services developers have six months from Sept. 22, 2026, to adopt ICA v32. Software integration and acceptance testing must be completed by Mar. 31, 2027, to remain compliant with USCIS policy.
The draft ICA v32, including a comprehensive change log with new endpoint documentation, are posted in the Resources section of both the E-Verify staging and production accounts.
