What is Alien Registration? 什么是外籍人士登记？
Under the Alien Registration Act of 1940, all foreign national aged 14 or older who will be in the United States (U.S.) for 30 days or more must be registered and fingerprinted. Foreign nationals 18 years and older must always carry proof of such registration. Failure to do so can result in a misdemeanor, which includes fines and/or imprisonment. 根据1940年《外籍人士登记法》，所有年满14岁的外国人，如将在美国停留30天或以上，必须进行登记和采集指纹。年满18岁的外国人必须随身携带登记证明。未遵守此规定可能构成轻罪，可能会面临罚款和/或监禁。
Historically, this law has not been regularly enforced. However, the Trump administration began enforcing this law as of April 11, 2025. To comply with the registration requirement, the administration created a new online G-325R for all unregistered foreign nationals to obtain “Proof of Alien Registration.” 历史上，该法律执行并不严格。然而，特朗普政府自2025年4月11日起开始执行该法律。为了符合登记要求，政府设立了一个新的在线G-325R表格，供所有未登记的外国人申请“外籍人士登记证明”。
Who Needs to Register? 谁需要登记？
Many foreign nationals, including some who lack legal status, are already considered registered. Any other foreign nationals who enter U.S. and plan to stay for 30 days or longer after April 11, 2025 must register before the expiration of the 30 days. This mandate includes: 许多外国人，包括部分无合法身份者，已被视为完成登记。其他在2025年4月11日之后进入美国并计划停留30天或以上的外国人，必须在30天期限内完成登记。该要求适用于：
- Canadians who entered the U.S. at land ports of entry and were not issued evidence of registration (e.g. Form I-94). 通过陆地入境口岸进入美国的加拿大人，如未获得登记凭证（如I-94表格）。
- Foreign nationals who entered the U.S. without inspection and have not otherwise been encountered by DHS or do not have a registration document. 未经检查入境美国的外国人，且未被国土安全部记录或没有登记文件者。
- Noncitizen children who turn 14 years old while in the U.S. must register/re-register within 30 days of their 14th birthday. 在美国境内年满14岁的非公民儿童，必须在14岁生日后的30天内完成登记或重新登记。
- If an LPR (green card holder) is outside of the U.S. when they turn 14, the individual must apply for registration and provide a photograph within 30 days of return. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for their children’s compliance. 如果绿卡持有人在14岁生日时身在美国境外，则其必须在返回美国后的30天内申请登记并提交照片。其父母或法定监护人须负责履行此义务。
What if You Are Undocumented? 如果你是无证移民怎么办？
If you entered the U.S. without inspection and admission or inspection and parole and have not registered and do not have evidence of registration, you are required to register before the expiration of 30 days after entry into the U.S. 如果你未经检查和准许进入美国，且尚未登记、也没有登记证明文件，必须在入境美国后30天内完成登记。
Registering does not grant legal status and may result in the registrant being detained and placed in removal proceedings. Failure to register may result in civil and criminal penalties. 登记不等于获得合法身份，登记可能导致被拘留并进入遣返程序。 未登记还可能导致民事和刑事处罚。
