USCIS Now Requiring Federal Contractors To Provide DUNS Number When They First Enroll in E-Verify or Update Their Company Profiles

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced recently that new federal contractors and subcontractors with contract clauses requiring the employer to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of new hires will now be required to provide the company’s Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number when they enroll. In addition, contractors already enrolled in E-Verify will now be prompted to provide a DUNS number when they update their company profile. Until now, providing a DUNS number to USCIS has been optional.
