Kingdom of Swaziland Renamed Kingdom of Eswatini; Select Eswatini in E-Verify

Release Date:

On April 19, 2018, King Mswati III officially renamed the Kingdom of Swaziland the Kingdom of Eswatini. Employees from Eswatini may present foreign passports and I-94s that have either “Swaziland” or “Eswatini” as their country of issuance. The newest version of Form I-9 (Rev. 10/21/2019) includes both country names in the dropdowns. An employee completing Section 1 who presents a foreign passport or I-94 that contains either Swaziland or Eswatini should select the correct county from the dropdown in the Country of Issuance field. However, when creating a case for these employees in E-Verify, E-Verify participants should select Eswatini from the provided dropdown.
