- Compliance Portal ● Registration can be done through the portal: [uscis.gov/alienregistration](https://uscis.gov/alienregistration.
- Failure to Register Penalties ● Not registering or identification carrying may impose fines, imprisonment or worse.
- Special Circumstances:Registration is due of 14 year olds turning US citizens within 30 days of their birthday.

Official (for the rest of the world):
“Legally residing foreigners should consider themselves warned in terms of needing to abide with acceptiable behavior standards.”
President Trump alongside I wish to say that we remain adamant towards anyone currently in the US without valid form of identification: kindly take the earliest available flight out of the US.”
“If you leave now, you can come back and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream.” As per quote DHS Kristi Nomh0.
