As a non U.S. citizen residing in the United States, it is required by law that you carry your immigration documents on your person at all times. These documents such as—your I-94 Card, EAD Card, or Green Card—confirm your legal status in the U.S. and should help ensure smoother interactions with police or other authorities if needed. Although not required by law, we also recommend carrying your passport, or at least a copy of your passport, either on your phone or a printed paper copy. Due to the approval of expedited removal, which means you can be removed from the U.S. without any judicial review, we are also advising U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents, especially if you might appear “foreign” or have an accent, to carry proof of your U.S. citizenship as well. Your driver’s license does not prove your citizenship. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below or send us an email. We are here to help!
