NATIONAL SECURITY ENTRY AND EXIT REGISTRATION SYSTEM (NSEERS) FOR VISITORS AND TEMPORARY RESIDENTS

 

The United States has a proud tradition of welcoming immigrants and visitors. This tradition is renewed and enriched by each and every law-abiding immigrant and visitor. New regulations addressing special registration have been put into effect to help ensure the safety of all persons in the United States --citizens, residents, and visitors as well. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in complying with the special registration procedures.

FOR ALL REGISTRANTS LEAVING THE UNITED STATES
·         You must register your departure before you depart. In order to do that, you must appear in person before an inspecting officer at a designated port of departure (a list is attached) and leave from that port on the same day.
·         In order to comply with exit registration requirements, the Department of Homeland Security recommends arriving at the airport from which you depart the United States at least three (3) hours before your scheduled departure.
EXIT REGISTRATION POINTS IN THE UNITED STATES
