Effective January 20, 2025, President Trump’s Executive Order 14159 mandates that all aliens (foreign nationals) in the U.S. who are 14 years of age or older and have been in the country for 30 days or longer must register with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This includes fingerprinting, if required.
What You Need to Know:
- Who Needs to Register: Aliens 14+ and parents of minors under 14.
- Penalties for Non-Compliance: Criminal prosecution, fines, or incarceration.
- New Registration Process: Use Form G-325R and an online system to register.
- Proof of Registration: Aliens 18+ must carry proof of registration.
- No Immigration Status: Registration doesn’t grant immigration status or benefits.
Unregistered individuals should act quickly to avoid penalties.
