G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration)

Use this form to provide biographic information when applying for registration and fingerprinting under section 262 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1302). See our Alien Registration Requirement page for more information on who must register and the registration process.

File Online

The Alien Registration Requirement (ARR) Determination Tool will help you determine if you need to register. If you do not comply with the ARR, you may face criminal penalties.

Before you begin Form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration), please answer some simple questions to find out if you need to register.

If you are not sure whether you need to register, this tool may help you determine whether you must register. These questions are solely intended to help you determine whether you must submit Form G-325R. This tool is for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice. It is not a substitute for a consultation with an attorney or an accredited representative.

The Immigration and Nationality Act requires all aliens, with limited exceptions, to apply for registration and fingerprinting if you:

  • Are 14 years old or older;
  • Were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa; and
  • Remain in the United States for 30 days or longer for each period of stay.

Parents and legal guardians of aliens under age 14 must ensure those aliens are registered. Within 30 days of reaching their 14th birthday, all previously registered aliens must apply for re-registration and fingerprinting.

After an alien registers and appears for fingerprinting (unless waived), DHS will issue evidence of registration. If you are an alien age 18 or older, you must carry and keep this evidence of registration in your personal possession at all times. If you are an unregistered alien (or previously registered alien who turns 14 years old) and you are in the United States for 30 days or longer for any period of stay, you must comply with these requirements. If you do not comply, you may face criminal and civil penalties, up to and including misdemeanor prosecution, the imposition of fines, and incarceration. Please visit the Alien Registration Requirement webpage for more information on registration.
