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

A: It means “Alien Registration Number”, a unique identifier assigned by USCIS. It can have seven, eight, or nine digits.
USCIS uses this 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 one as part of their records during the immigration process. Even after becoming citizens, individuals retain their A-Number to help the government maintain accurate historical data.
If you need assistance with your A-Number or immigration records, consult an immigration attorney. They can provide valuable guidance.
