===== | ===== Report and Registry, 1798-1828 ===== | ||
From 1798 to 1828, a new immigrant was required to appear before a local court and register his arrival in the United States. This was usually recorded in the court minutes. Sometimes a separate document, a report and registry or aliens' register, was created instead. The immigrant could obtain a certificate showing that he had registered in order to prove his residency later when he applied for citizenship. The Report and Registry could take place at a different time and different court than the immigrant's declaration. | From 1798 to 1828, a new immigrant was required to appear before a local court and register his arrival in the United States.
