Annual Immigration Report Due on December 31

Print Print this article

Every year, counties, cities, and local authorities are required to submit an immigration report to the Department of Audits and Accounts by December 31. The reporting period spans from Dec. 1, 2016, through Nov. 30, 2017. An overview of the report template can be viewed here. The report requires the county to submit information related to their E-Verify number and authorization date, E-Verify contractor information, E-Verify private employer information, and public benefit information; and also requires the county to certify that it is compliant with state law regarding sanctuary policies. This report is mandatory and must be submitted by every county governing authority and all county authorities. DOAA will be reporting non-compliant counties and county authorities to state agencies that provide state funding to local governments, so make sure to submit your report by Dec. 31, 2017.

Access to the report can be found on the DOAA website at https://www.audits.ga.gov/auth/login.aud, and instructions on how to submit the report can be found on the DOAA website at http://www.audits.ga.gov/NALGAD/iiraea_instructions_video.html.

If you have any technical questions about filing the report, please contact the DOAA at Immhelp@audits.ga.gov or visit the DOAA website at http://www.audits.ga.gov/. All questions about the legal requirements for this report should be directed to your county attorney.
