Q: What is an A-Number and why is it important?

A: An A-Number, or Alien Registration Number, is a unique identifier USCIS assigns. It can have seven, eight, or nine digits.
USCIS uses this number to track a person’s immigration records. It helps monitor interactions with various U.S. government agencies.
While A-Numbers primarily belong to noncitizens, naturalized U.S. citizens also receive an A-Number. This number is part of their records during the immigration process.
Even after becoming citizens, individuals retain their A-Number. This helps the government maintain accurate historical immigration data.
If you need assistance with your A-Number or immigration records, consult an immigration attorney. They can provide valuable guidance.
