How to Get Your I-94 Record and Travel History
How to download your Form I-94 and U.S. travel history from CBP for free — which record to print, what to do if it's missing or wrong, and how to use it abroad.
Quick answer
Download it free from U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s I-94 website using your passport details. You can print your most recent I-94 and your travel history (recent arrivals and departures). Print the official record directly — screenshots and reformatted copies won’t be accepted for apostille.

Most recent I-94 or travel history?
- Most recent I-94 — your current admission record: date, class of admission and admit-until date.
- Travel history — arrivals and departures over recent years. This is usually what foreign tax authorities want when they’re counting days.
Step by step
Go to CBP’s I-94 website
It’s free — don’t pay a third-party site.
Enter your passport details
Name, date of birth and passport number exactly as on the passport used to travel.
Print the official record
Print directly from the site. Don’t edit or reformat it.
Check the date range
Make sure it covers the period the foreign authority asked about.
If your record is missing or wrong
Try variations of your name and the passport you used for each trip. If a record is genuinely missing or incorrect, CBP has a correction process; older history beyond the online window may require a FOIA request to CBP.
When you’ll need it abroad
- Foreign tax residency determinations that count your days in the U.S.
- Proving continuous presence or absence for residency or immigration abroad
- Supporting a treaty or double-taxation position
- Reconstructing travel history for a visa application
Troubleshooting
The site says no record found
Try the passport you actually travelled on, alternate spellings, and the exact arrival date.
Trips are missing from the history
Land-border and older trips may not appear. For older history, a FOIA request to CBP is the route.
The record has an error
CBP has a correction process for I-94 errors — fix it before authenticating.
You need an older range than the site shows
Request the full history from CBP through FOIA.
Next: getting it apostilled
Once you have the document, it needs authentication before a foreign authority will accept it. See how to apostille it. Our price is $299 per document for Hague Convention countries and $399 for non-Hague countries including embassy legalization, with government fees included.
Frequently asked questions
Is the I-94 website free?
Yes. CBP charges nothing to view and print your record.
Can I apostille a screenshot?
No. Print the official record directly from the CBP site, unaltered.
How far back does travel history go?
The online history covers a limited recent period. Older records may need a FOIA request.
Do U.S. citizens have I-94 records?
I-94s are for non-citizens admitted to the U.S. Citizens usually prove travel with passport stamps or a CBP FOIA request.
Is the travel history official?
Yes — it's printed from CBP's system, which is why it can be authenticated.
