CBP announces Voluntary Self-Reported Exit pilot to collect facial images from noncitizens exiting U.S.

  1. Original Date Announced

    March 19, 2025

    CBP announced that it will conduct a Voluntary Self-Reported Exit (VSRE) Pilot to collect facial images from noncitizens subject to I-94 requirements who exit the U.S. from any location.

    The facial images will be collected through an app on noncitizens' personal electronic devices. The technology will have geolocation capabilities; when noncitizens submit photos, CBP will be able to verify whether they have in fact exited. CBP states that the pilot will test effectiveness of technology designed to help "create a comprehensive biometrics entry-exit system" and to "further automate the I-94 process."

    The VSRE pilot begins on March 19, 2025 and will run for two years.
