To increase efficiency, reduce operating costs and
streamline the admission process, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection has automated CBP Form I-
94 no longer receive the paper form upon arrival
except in limited circumstances. The traveler will
be provided with a CBP admission stamp on their
travel document. If a traveler needs a copy of their
I-94 (record of admission) for verification of alien
registration, immigration status or employment
authorization, it can be obtained from.

Will travelers need to do anything
differently when exiting the U.S.? How can they
be sure their departure will be recorded properly
with this new the I-94 automation process?
Travelers will not need to do anything
differently upon exiting the U.S. Travelers issued a
paper Form I-94 should surrender it to the commercial carrier or CBP upon departure. The departure
will be recorded electronically with manifest information provided by the carrier or by CBP. If travelers did not receive a paper Form I-94 and the record
was created electronically, CBP will record their departure using manifest information obtained from the
carrier.
