Mailing Document Verification Requests

Photocopies of documentation should be stapled to the Document Verification Request with a single staple in the upper left-hand corner. The form and documents can be folded and placed in a window envelope, with the block labeled “To” showing in the address area. More than one G-845 can be mailed in a single envelope; however, INS discourages benefit issuing agencies and institutions from collecting forms over an extended period of time in order to mail them in bulk.

All benefit issuing agencies and institutions should mail Form G-845 to their local INS Office. The notation, “ATTN: Immigration Status Verifier,” should be included on the envelope to ensure proper handling by the INS mailroom. Immigration Status Verifiers (ISVs) are located in INS Offices throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Guam. To determine the correct INS Office, review the list of states and counties in Appendix D; their mailing addresses are included in Appendix F.
