§264.1. Registration and fingerprinting.
8 C.F.R. § 264.1
Prescribed registration forms. The following forms are prescribed as registration forms:
Evidence of registration. The following forms constitute evidence of registration:
Replacement of alien registration. Any alien whose registration document is not available for any reason must immediately apply for a replacement document in the manner prescribed by USCIS.
Surrender of registration. If an alien is naturalized, dies, permanently departs, or is deported from the United States, or evidence of registration is found by a person other than the one to whom such evidence was issued, the person in possession of the document shall forward it to a USCIS office.
Fingerprinting waiver.
Fingerprinting is waived for nonimmigrant aliens admitted as NATO representatives, officers, and employees pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2(s)(1)(i)(A) and (B) (excluding the attendants, servants, or personal employees of such nonimmigrants under 8 CFR 214.2(s)(1)(i)(C)) while they maintain such nonimmigrant status.
Fingerprinting is waived for aliens who are holders of diplomatic visas as defined in section 101(a)(11) of the Act and 22 CFR 41.26(a)(2) (other than those issued under section 101(a)(15)(A) and (G) of the Act who are exempt from the registration and fingerprinting requirements under section 263(b) of the Act) admitted on the basis of such visas while they maintain such nonimmigrant status.
Fingerprinting is waived for nonimmigrant aliens, while they maintain nonimmigrant status, who are nationals of countries which do not require fingerprinting of United States citizens temporarily residing therein.
Fingerprinting is waived for every nonimmigrant alien not included in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this section who departs from the United States within one year of his or her admission, provided he or she maintains his or her nonimmigrant status during that time; each such alien not previously fingerprinted shall apply therefor at once if he or she remains in the United States in excess of 1 year.
Every nonimmigrant alien not previously fingerprinted shall apply therefor at once upon his or her failure to maintain his or her nonimmigrant status.
[Reserved]
Registration and fingerprinting of children who reach age 14. Within 30 days after reaching the age of 14, any alien in the United States not exempt from alien registration under the Act and this chapter, or otherwise by law, must apply for registration and fingerprinting, unless fingerprinting is waived under paragraph (e) of this section, in accordance with applicable form instructions.
Permanent residents. If such alien is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and is temporarily absent from the United States when he or she reaches the age of 14, he or she must apply for registration within 30 days of his or her return to the United States in accordance with applicable form instructions and with the fee specified in 8 CFR 106.2 to replace a permanent resident card The alien must surrender any prior evidence of alien registration, and USCIS will issue the alien new evidence of alien registration.
Others. In the case of an alien who is not a lawful permanent resident, the alien's previously issued registration document will be noted to show that he or she has been registered and the date of registration.
