Alien Registration Form and Evidence of Registration
DHS issued an interim final rule (IFR) on March 12, 2025, creating a new Alien Registration Form and evidence of registration requirements. This impacts employers using AI hiring tools that process or verify work authorization, as they must update their systems to recognize the new form and ensure compliance with immigration verification rules.
