Immigration Document Delivery Accountability Act of 2025
HR 5979, the Immigration Document Delivery Accountability Act of 2025, requires U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to implement a tracking system for immigration documents mailed by the U.S. Postal Service. Within 180 days of the law’s passage, USCIS must mandate either a USPS barcode for document tracking or a recipient signature requirement for all mailed immigration documents - excluding in-person deliveries. This applies directly to USCIS and the U.S. Postal Service when delivering documents related to an individual’s immigration status. The law aims to create a verifiable record of document delivery to improve accountability.
