Abstract: The registration and fingerprinting requirements currently appear in sections 1301-1306 of Title 8 of the United States Code. With limited exceptions, aliens above the age of 14 who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer, must apply for registration and be fingerprinted before the expiration of the 30 days, unless previously registered and fingerprinted under other provisions of immigration law. 8 U.S.C. 1302. Similarly, parents and guardians must ensure that their children below the age of 14 are registered. 8 U.S.C. 1302(b). Within 30 days of reaching his or her 14th birthday, the alien child must “apply in person for registration and to be fingerprinted.” 8 U.S.C. 1302(b). Implementing regulations can be found at 8 C.F.R. part 264. USCIS uses the electronic version of Form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration), for the purpose of registration of unregistered aliens present in the United States in accordance with 8 U.S.C. 1302.

Emergency Justfication: On January 20, 2025, the President issued Executive Order (EO) 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, 90 FR 8443 (Jan. 29, 2025). Specifically, Section 7 of the Executive Order, Identification of Unregistered Illegal Aliens, directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take appropriate action to ensure that all unregistered aliens in the United States comply with the statutory registration and fingerprinting requirement and to immediately publicize information about the legal obligations. Execution of the EO and compliance with the registration and fingerprinting requirement under the INA and 8 CFR part 264 requires USCIS to create a new collection of information Form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration), for the purpose of allowing previously unregistered aliens to electronically apply for registration and fingerprinting in the United States. By adding the ability for unregistered aliens to use the USCIS online account to apply to meet their registration obligations, USCIS should be able to streamline processing efficiencies for this population to enhance security screening and promptly identify threats. associated with registration.
