Alien Registration Form and Evidence of Registration

This IFR amends DHS regulations to designate a new registration form for aliens to comply with statutory alien registration and fingerprinting provisions. Aliens who are subject to alien registration requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended ("INA") who have not yet registered may use this registration form to satisfy their statutory obligations. This IFR also amends DHS regulations to designate additional documentation that may serve as evidence of alien registration.

What this means

  • This rule has been in effect since 2025-04-11. (effectiveAt)
  • The document names B-1/B-2 visitor, Temporary Protected Status, Asylum. It may identify others — read the original to be sure. (impact.stated (partial))
  • The document states a requirement for the people it covers. The exact wording is quoted above — whether it applies to any particular person depends on facts this platform does not have. (impact.actionRequired)

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

This list may be incomplete — the document may identify others. Read the original. Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Aug 2, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
