Address Reporting Requirement for Non-US Citizens

All non-US citizens, including international students on F-1 visas, are required to report their current address to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, as well as any changes of address within 15 days of moving to a new location. This applies to all those on student, dependent, working and visitor visas, as well as US permanent residents. Failure to report change of address may constitute grounds for deportation.

Please follow these steps in order to report your address:

  • Complete immigration Form AR-11 which is available on the Internet:
