Alien Registration Form and Evidence of Registration
DHS issued an interim final rule on March 12, 2025, creating a new alien registration form and evidence of registration. This rule does not directly affect US data privacy laws like CCPA/CPRA, but may indirectly impact businesses that handle personal data of non-citizens or have compliance obligations under state privacy laws.
Aforeworn detected this change in the US State Data-Privacy Laws space on July 5, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. Businesses that collect or process personal data of non-citizens, particularly those subject to state data privacy laws (e.g., CCPA, CPRA). should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: No specific deadline; rule effective upon publication (March 12, 2025). Comments due by May 12, 2025.. Acting after that point can mean penalties, a lapsed licence, or lost eligibility — exactly the kind of surprise Aforeworn exists to prevent.
