SAVE Program Transaction Charges

SAVE Fee Structure

The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program is a fee-for-service program.  User agencies that choose to access the SAVE Program are billed per transaction.  User agencies submitting an initial electronic query incur a base transaction fee; if that initial query requires additional verification, then the user agency is charged an additional transaction.  Fees vary by access method and level of verification.

There is currently no charge for G-845 manual verification requests.  Current transaction fees are listed in the table below.  A minimum monthly service transaction charge of $25.00 is automatically billed to user agencies whose SAVE Program query volume charge totals do not exceed $25.00.  However, if there are no SAVE Program queries during the month, there is no charge.

Effective April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2008

**Effective October 1, 2008**

The SAVE Program is adjusting its pricing.  A uniform rate of $0.50 applies to each request submitted electronically, with an additional $0.50 charge if the case is referred for additional verification.  A rate of $2.00 applies to each initial manual verification request submitted via the paper-based Form G-845, Document Verification Request.
