… details. ###### Department of Homeland Security 1. 8 CFR Part 264 2. \[CIS No. 2810-25; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2025-0004] 3. RIN 1615-AC96 ( printed page 11793) # AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”). # ACTION: Interim final rule (“IFR”) with request for comments. # SUMMARY: This IFR amends DHS regulations to designate a new registration form for aliens to comply with statutory alien registration and fingerprinting provisions. Aliens who are subject to alien registration requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (“INA”) who have not yet registered may use this registration form to satisfy their statutory obligations. This IFR also amends DHS regulations to designate additional documentation that may serve as evidence of alien registration. # DATES: *Effective date:* This IFR is effective April 11, 2025. *Registration:* Aliens may register using the revised form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration) immediately. *IFR comment period:* Comments on the rule must be received by April 11, 2025. *Information collection comment period:* Comments on the information collection described in the *Paperwork Reduction … aliens regardless of their status, in addition to the other forms already listed. Specifically, this IFR lists the new form at [8 CFR 264.1(a)](<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/section-264.1#p-264.1(a)>) and lists the corresponding evidence of registration at [8 CFR 264.1(b)](<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/section-264.1#p-264.1(b)>). Consistent with [8 U.S.C. 1359](https://www.govinfo.gov/link/uscode/8/1359), DHS interprets the registration and fingerprinting requirements of [8 U.S.C. 1302](https://www.govinfo.gov/link/uscode/8/1302) to exclude from “all aliens” American Indians born … CFR 264.1(b)](<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/section-264.1#p-264.1(b)>)).\[[14](#footnote-14-p11797)] The affected population includes, for instance: - Aliens who are present in the United States without inspection and admission or inspection and parole and have not yet registered (*i.e.,* have not yet filed a registration form designated under [8 CFR 264.1(a)](<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/section-264.1#p-264.1(a)>), and do not have evidence of registration under [8 CFR 264.1(b)](<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/section-264.1#p-264.1(b)>)). - Canadian visitors who entered … the United States at land ports of entry and were not issued evidence of registration (*e.g.,* Form I-94). - An alien, whether previously registered or not, who turns 14 years old in the United States and therefore must register within 30 days after their 14th birthday. DHS recognizes there could be additional aliens subject to this rule in the future. Relying on this estimate may somewhat overstate those who need to fully comply as aliens under 14 years of age are required to be registered but do not need to provide fingerprinting. #### Costs DHS recognizes that there are costs to aliens to …
