Documents to Bring to An ICE Check-In

This could be an ID, passport, or other travel document.

Proof of Where You Live (If You Moved)

This could be a utility bill, lease agreement, employment records, or mail you received at your address.

This could be:

  • Letter from the immigration court that says you have a hearing or a “Notice to Appear.”
     
  • Letter that says USCIS got your application for a relief program like asylum, temporary protected status (TPS), or a green card. The letter will say USCIS is reviewing your application.
