NSEERS Registration Requirements

The NSEERS registration requirements apply to male citizens of the following countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Lebanon, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

All NSEERS registrants leaving the United States, including visits to Mexico, Canada, or adjacent islands, must register their departure by appearing in person on the date of departure before an inspecting officer at a designated port of departure.  Registrants must depart from the port of departure the same day. Failure to register may result in the denial of your admission to the United States at a later date.

Although certain visitors may still be registered at their time of arrival at U.S. ports-of-entry, there is no mandatory requirement to report for interviews as previously required. A registrant may be required to report in person to a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office and show that they are following their travel plans or statement of intentions made when they entered. A notice will be sent to the address given at the registration at the time of entry if the visitor is required to report.
