USCIS this week announced the launch of a new, enhanced Employment
Authorization Document (EAD) and a redesigned Form N-560, Certificate of
Citizenship. These new documents are now enhanced with new features to
strengthen security and minimize the chance of fraud. New features of
the EAD, according to USCIS will “better equip workers, employers and
law enforcement officials to recognize the card as definitive proof of
authorization to work in the United States. The new EADs were first
issued on October 25; the redesigned certificates will first be issued
on October 30.
“These enhanced documents are more secure than ever,” said USCIS
Director Mayorkas. “They advance our efforts to safeguard against fraud
and protect the integrity of the immigration system.”
