I-94 Download: How to Get Your Most Recent I-94 Online

Updated July 2026

Looking for an I-94 download? Visit the official U.S. Customs and Border Protection I-94 website, select “Get Most Recent I-94/I-95,” enter the traveler information associated with your admission record, and open your result. Select Print, then choose Save as PDF in your device’s print window.

CBP’s online system allows eligible travelers to retrieve and print their most recent I-94 admission record. The same website can also display up to 10 years of U.S. arrival and departure history for available records.

Important: The official site may show a Print button rather than a button labeled “Download.” To create an I-94 PDF, open the print window and select a PDF destination instead of a physical printer. CBP’s instructions illustrate this process.

What is Form I-94?

Form I-94 is an arrival and departure record created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for many foreign visitors admitted to the United States. It documents the terms of a person’s admission.

A most recent I-94 record normally displays:

• The I-94 admission record number
• The traveler’s most recent date of entry
• The class of admission
• The “Admit Until Date” or a notation such as “D/S”
• Biographical and travel-document information

CBP has automated the I-94 process at air and sea ports of entry, so travelers are not routinely given a paper card when they arrive. A paper copy can instead be printed from the official I-94 website.

Your I-94 date is not the same as your visa expiration date

A U.S. visa generally allows a traveler to go to a U.S. port of entry and request admission. It does not, by itself, determine how long the traveler may remain in the country.

The admitted-until date—or “D/S,” meaning duration of status—shown on the admission record is the official record of the authorized period of stay. The visa’s expiration date should not be used to calculate how long someone is permitted to stay after admission.

How to complete an I-94 download online

Follow these steps to retrieve your most recent I-94.

1. Open the official CBP I-94 website

Use the official Department of Homeland Security I-94/I-95 website. Avoid unofficial “I-94 downloader” websites that ask for unnecessary personal information or charge to direct you to the government system.

2. Select “Get Most Recent I-94/I-95”

Choose the option for retrieving the most recent record. Do not choose Apply Now unless you are applying for a new provisional I-94 before an eligible land-border entry.

The “Get Most Recent I-94/I-95” feature is designed to retrieve and print the latest available admission record for most covered classes of admission and parole.

3. Accept the terms of service

Read the government system notice and acknowledge the terms before continuing.

4. Enter the traveler information

Enter the requested personal and travel-document information exactly as it was associated with the U.S. admission record. Depending on the record, the system may request information such as:

• First or given name
• Last or family name
• Date of birth
• Passport or other document number
• Country of citizenship

Use the passport or document number associated with the I-94 you are trying to retrieve. CBP says that this may be an expired passport if that was the document connected to the admission record.

5. Review the most recent I-94

The result should show the admission record number, entry date, class of admission and admit-until information.

Check every field carefully before using the record for an immigration filing, school enrollment, employment-verification process or another official purpose.

6. Print or save the I-94 as a PDF

Select Print on the results page. In the print window, change the destination from a physical printer to Save as PDF, Print to PDF or the equivalent option on your device.

Give the file a clear name, such as:

I-94-Most-Recent-Lastname-2026.pdf

Store it somewhere secure because an I-94 contains sensitive personal and immigration information.

Is the I-94 download on USCIS or CBP?

For an I-94 created when a traveler was admitted at a U.S. port of entry, the online record normally comes from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not a USCIS online account.

However, USCIS can also issue an I-94 in connection with an approved immigration application or petition. In those situations, the I-94 may appear as the detachable lower portion of Form I-797A, Notice of Action. USCIS describes Form I-797A as an approval notice issued with a replacement Form I-94.

This distinction matters when someone searches for a “latest I-94 download.” The CBP website may not reflect an extension or change of status granted by USCIS while the person remained in the United States.

As a practical rule:

Situation	Where to look
Most recent admission at an airport, seaport or land port	CBP I-94 website
USCIS-approved extension or change of status	Form I-797A and its attached I-94
New admission after international travel	Most recent CBP record
Possible conflict between two records	Compare the documents and obtain qualified immigration guidance

Do not assume that the CBP page is always the newest immigration document if USCIS has approved a later extension or change of status.

How to download your I-94 travel history

The most recent I-94 and travel history are related, but they are not the same document.

To retrieve travel history:

1. Open the official I-94 website.
2. Select View Travel History.
3. Accept the terms.
4. Enter the requested traveler information.
5. Review the available arrivals and departures.
6. Print the page or save it as a PDF.

The current government system advertises U.S. arrival and departure history covering the past 10 years for available record types.

Record	What it shows	Common purpose
Most Recent I-94	Latest admission number, entry date, class and admit-until information	Proof of the most recent admission
Travel History	Available arrival and departure events over time	Reconstructing trip dates or reviewing travel activity

Travel history should not be substituted for the most recent I-94 when an organization specifically asks for an I-94 admission record.

What to do when your I-94 says “Not Found”

An I-94 search may fail even when the person was properly admitted. Before requesting a correction or replacement, check the information entered into the search form.

Use the exact name associated with your admission

Enter all relevant first and last names as shown on the passport or document used for entry. CBP specifically notes that a person with more than one first name or last name may need to enter both names as they appear in the passport.

Try the document used for that particular entry

A renewed passport does not automatically mean that an older admission record is indexed under the new number. Search with the passport or document number connected to the entry, even when that document has since expired.

Check for a USCIS-issued record

When USCIS approved an extension or change of status, the relevant I-94 may be attached to Form I-797A rather than displayed as a new CBP admission record.

Contact the agency that issued the incorrect record

If CBP created the I-94 at a port of entry and the information is wrong, USCIS directs travelers to contact a CBP port of entry or Deferred Inspection Site. If USCIS issued the document, use the appropriate USCIS correction procedure instead.

Consider a records request for missing history

CBP states that a Freedom of Information Act request may be necessary when a person still cannot retrieve the most recent I-94 or requested travel history.

Form I-102 may apply in certain cases where a nonimmigrant needs a new or replacement I-94 or I-95. It should not automatically be treated as the first step for every online “Not Found” result.

What should you check on the downloaded I-94?

Before submitting the record to an employer, school, government agency or immigration representative, verify:

1. Name: It should correspond to the traveler’s identity documents.
2. Document number: Confirm that the listed passport or travel document is correct.
3. Most recent entry date: Make sure it matches the relevant arrival.
4. Class of admission: Check the listed immigration classification.
5. Admit Until Date: Review the date carefully, or confirm whether the record says “D/S.”
6. I-94 number: Save the complete record rather than copying only the number.

An I-94 printout retrieved from the official CBP website is an official Form I-94 and should be accepted as such.

Do not digitally alter an I-94 PDF to correct a spelling, classification or date. An incorrect government record should be corrected through the agency that issued it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download my latest I-94?

Use the official CBP I-94 website and select Get Most Recent I-94/I-95. Enter the requested traveler information, open the result and select Print. Choose Save as PDF in the print window.

Can I download my I-94 from USCIS?

A CBP-issued admission record is normally retrieved from the CBP I-94 website. When USCIS issues a replacement I-94 after approving an application or petition, it may be attached to Form I-797A.

How far back does I-94 travel history go?

The official I-94 website currently offers up to 10 years of available arrival and departure history for covered records.

Is I-94 travel history the same as the most recent I-94?

No. Travel history lists available arrivals and departures. The most recent I-94 is the admission record containing the I-94 number, latest entry, class of admission and admit-until information.

What if my visa and I-94 have different expiration dates?

The visa’s expiration date is not the measure of how long a traveler may remain after admission. The admitted-until date or D/S notation on the admission record is the official record of the authorized period of stay.

Can I use a screenshot instead of an I-94 PDF?

A complete printout from the official CBP website is the stronger format because it preserves the full admission record. Use the site’s print function and save the result as a PDF instead of retaining only a cropped screenshot.

Final takeaway

For a standard I-94 download, start with the official CBP website—not a third-party downloader. Retrieve the most recent record, review the class of admission and admit-until information, and save the full page as a PDF.

After a USCIS extension or change of status, also check Form I-797A because the newest I-94 may be attached to that approval notice and may not appear as an updated CBP admission record.
