How much I-9 & E-Verify costs

Common pricing models: per form, base fee + per employee, and annual subscription tiered. Too few vendors publish comparable list prices for us to give a price range; the models and cost drivers below explain what you will be quoted.

Pricing models explained

  • Per form. You pay a fee for each completed I-9, which suits low-volume or seasonal hiring but can be costly with high turnover.
  • Base fee + per employee. A platform fee plus a charge per active employee or hire, common when I-9 sits inside a wider compliance or onboarding suite.
  • Annual subscription tiered. A fixed annual price by employee band, which makes budgets predictable but may add overage fees.

What drives the price

  • Hiring volume and turnover rate
  • Number of employer entities and locations
  • E-Verify case creation and management features
  • Number of integrations and API use
  • Migration of existing paper or legacy electronic forms

Fees to ask about before you sign:

  • Implementation or migration fees for historical forms
  • Fees for audit support or inspection assistance
  • Charges for extra users, sites or legal entities
  • Data export fees on termination
  • Per-case charges for E-Verify services, even though the government service is free

Frequently asked questions

What is E-Verify and is it free?

E-Verify is a federal online service that electronically confirms new hires' employment eligibility against government records. Using it is free. Participation is voluntary for most employers, though some are required to use it by state law or federal regulation.
