    (2) [Reserved]
    (d) Surrender of registration. If an alien is naturalized, dies, 
permanently departs, or is deported from the United States, or evidence 
of registration is found by a person other than the one to whom such 
evidence was issued, the person in possession of the document shall 
forward it to a Service office.
    (e) Fingerprinting waiver. (1) Fingerprinting is waived for 
nonimmigrant aliens admitted as foreign government officials and 
employees; international organization representatives, officers and 
employees; NATO representatives, officers and employees, and holders of 
diplomatic visas while they maintain such nonimmigrant status. 
Fingerprinting is also waived for other nonimmigrant aliens, while they 
maintain nonimmigrant status, who are nationals of countries which do 
not require fingerprinting of United States citizens temporarily 
residing therein.
    (2) Fingerprinting is waived for every nonimmigrant alien not 
included in paragraph (e)(1) of this section who departs from the United 
States within one year of his admission, provided he maintains his 
nonimmigrant status during that time; each such alien not previously 
fingerprinted shall apply therefor at once if he remains in the United 
States in excess of one year.
    (3) Every nonimmigrant alien not previously fingerprinted shall 
apply therefor at once upon his failure to maintain his nonimmigrant 
status.
    (f) Registration and fingerprinting of certain nonimmigrants. 
Notwithstanding the provisions included in paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) 
of this section, the Attorney General may designate, by a comprehensive 
public notice in the Federal Register, that certain nonimmigrants of 
specific countries are required to be registered and fingerprinted upon 
arrival in the United States. This requirement shall not apply to those 
nonimmigrants applying for admission to the United States under section 
101(a)(15)(A) or 101(a)(15)(G) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 
Those aliens so designated by the Attorney General who apply for 
admission to the United States shall be registered on Form I-94 
(Arrival/Departure Record), and may be fingerprinted on Form FD-258 
(Fingerprint Chart), and photographed by the Service at the Port-of-
Entry where the aliens apply for admission to the United States.
    (g) Registration and fingerprinting of children who reach age 14. 
Within 30 days after reaching the age of 14, any alien in the United 
States not exempt from alien registration under the act and this chapter 
shall present himself to a Service office for registration in accordance 
with section 262(b) of the Act, and for fingerprinting unless 
fingerprinting is waived pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. He 
shall submit Form I-90 if he is a lawful permanent resident. If such 
alien is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and is 
temporarily absent from the United States when he reaches the

[[Page 614]]

age of 14, he shall comply with the foregoing within 30 days of his 
return to the United States. The alien, if a lawful permanent resident 
of the United States, shall surrender his prior evidence of alien 
registration and shall be issued Form I-551 bearing a photograph 
submitted by him in accordance with the instructions on Form I-90. In 
the case of an alien who is not a lawful permanent resident, the alien's 
Form I-94 or I-95 shall be noted to show that he has been registered and 
the date of registration.
    (h) Temporary evidence of registration. Form I-94, appropriately 
endorsed, may be issued as temporary evidence of registration and lawful 
admission for permanent residence to a lawful permanent resident alien 
who is departing temporarily from the United States and has applied on 
Form I-90 for issuance of Form I-551, if the district director is unable 
to issue and deliver the Form I-551 prior to the alien's contemplated 
return to the United States. The alien shall surrender such Form I-94 to 
the Service upon receipt of Form I-551.
    (i) Copy of Form I-94. An attorney or representative as defined in 
Sec. 1.1 of this chapter who is representing an alien before the Service 
or the Board may make and retain, solely for information purposes, a 
copy of the Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) issued to and in the 
possession of the alien. Such copy shall not be used for any other 
purpose.
