Who needs to register?
Many noncitizens, including some who lack legal status, are already considered registered. Any other noncitizen who enters the United States (U.S.) and plans to stay for 30 days or longer after April 11, 2025 must register before the expiration of the 30 days. This mandate includes:
- Canadians who entered the U.S. at land ports of entry and were not issued evidence of registration (e.g. Form I-94).
- Noncitizens who entered the U.S. without inspection and have not otherwise been encountered by DHS or do not have a registration document. Note that those who applied for deferred action or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who were not issued evidence of registration are included.
- Noncitizen children who turn 14 years old while in the U.S. must register/re-register within 30 days of their 14th birthday. If an LPR is outside of the U.S. when they turn 14, the individual must apply for registration and provide a photograph within 30 days of return. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for their children’s compliance.
If you have any questions and believe you fit into any of the above categories, please contact the office. Read more information here.
