The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) is a web-based service that helps benefit-granting agencies (federal, state and local) ensures the immigration status of the license or ID card recipients are entitled to receive them. SAVE does not determine if the applicant is eligible to receive the license or ID card.

The SAVE Program is administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Verification Division, of the Department of Homeland Security.

Processing a SAVE verification

When processing an ID Card and using a Legal Presence type code that needs to be verified, mySelect will send the  information entered to the SAVE website for the verification.

Before the Legal Presence document information is sent to SAVE, mySelect will display a message to verify what was entered. This allows you the opportunity to re-key any missed keyed document information.
