Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program
What is SAVE?
The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program provides a fast, secure and efficient verification service that allows federal, state, and local benefit-granting and licensing agencies to verify your status when you apply for a licence or government benefit. To learn more, visit uscis.gov/save.
What does SAVE need to verify your immigration status?
The benefit-granting or licensing agency must provide SAVE with your current biographic information (first name, last name, and date of birth) and a numeric identifier (such as an Alien Number (A#/USCIS#); Form I-94, Arrival/ Departure Record Number; Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) ID number; or unexpired foreign passport number.
What happens if SAVE cannot verify your status?
You may correct or update your immigration record with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). SAVE cannot correct, renew, or replace records.
Where do you go to correct, obtain, renew or replace a record?
You must contact the DHS agency that issued your record.
