A newly effective federal registration requirement now requires noncitizens physically present in the U.S. to register with the U.S. government and carry evidence of their valid immigration status on their person at all times.
As of Friday, April 11, noncitizens — other than those already deemed registered by virtue of their nonimmigrant and immigrant visa processes — must create an account with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and take certain steps, including attending a biometric appointment, to register as a noncitizen.
