Foreign Nationals Registration Rules: Stricter Regulations for Foreigners Living in the U.S.
The U.S. government has tightened rules for foreign nationals residing in the country. Now, any foreign citizen staying in the U.S. for more than 30 days must register with the federal government.
Even a minor mistake in compliance could lead to heavy fines or imprisonment.
The White House announced that all foreign nationals staying in the country for more than 30 days will be required to register with federal authorities.
Failure to do so could result in penalties, imprisonment, and even deportation. This announcement has sparked concern among immigrant communities across the U.S.
Penalty or Jail Time for Not Registering
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “All foreign nationals staying in the United States for more than 30 days must register with the federal government. Non-compliance is a criminal offense punishable by fines,
imprisonment, or both.” She added, “If you fail to comply, you will be arrested, fined, deported, and barred from ever returning to our country.”
Order Issued Following Ruling by Federal Judge
The directive is based on the decades-old Alien Registration Act from World War II. It was given the green light following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden,
appointed by former President Trump, who dismissed a legal challenge by advocacy groups.
The judge ruled that the plaintiffs lacked sufficient legal grounds to block the enforcement of the regulation, clearing the way for the controversial order to take effect.
Mandatory Registration Certificate to Be Carried at All Times
Under the new rule, foreign nationals—including visa holders and legal permanent residents—must carry proof of registration at all times.
This rule applies to anyone staying in the U.S. for more than 30 days, including new arrivals who must register within a month of entering the country if they lack valid documents.
Children Over 14 Must Also Register
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarified that individuals entering the U.S.
after April 11 must register within 30 days. Children who turn 14 must also re-register and provide fingerprints, even if previously registered.
A Move to Strengthen National Security
Leavitt, who also serves as an aide to President Donald Trump, said the decision is about national security and law enforcement.
“The Trump administration will continue to enforce our country’s immigration laws.
We won’t pick and choose which laws to follow. We need to know who is in our country to ensure the safety of our homeland and all American citizens,” she state
