New Hampshire E-Verify Employment Status

New Hampshire has not enacted legislation requiring private employers to use the federal E-Verify electronic employment verification system. State labor statutes in the General Court RSA index focus on Form I-9 compliance under federal law and do not condition state contracts, business licenses, or general private hiring on E-Verify enrollment. Federal contractors remain subject to the federal FAR E-Verify rule, and employers may voluntarily enroll. Municipalities cannot impose additional verification mandates beyond federal requirements because employment verification is a federally regulated field, and state law has not delegated such authority to local governments.

There is no state E-Verify penalty regime; employers face federal enforcement under IRCA for I-9 violations and potential debarment for FAR E-Verify violations.
