  1. What is this new Registration requirement? The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has provided notice that there will be a Registration requirement for anyone in the United States who remains for a period of more than 30 days. The last time this Registration process was utilized was immediately after 9/11. The statutory basis for registration and fingerprinting comes from The Alien Registration of Act of 1940. This registration requirement will not result in a path to citizenship, nor will it lead to any immigration benefit. This Registration requirement will be used for enforcement purposes only.
  1. When do we need to register? You do not need to register until the registration process goes into effect on April 11, 2025. Until that time, you do not have any obligation or duty to file a registration form, nor do you have an obligation or duty to set up an online USCIS account. The registration process is not currently LIVE, meaning you SHOULD NOT be submitting anything to the USCIS concerning the registration process until the process becomes LIVE on 4/11/2025. No one should be creating a USCIS account nor registering with the USCIS at this time.
