The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is implementing a new travel policy effective December 26, 2025, requiring all non-citizens, including Green Card holders, to undergo enhanced biometric data collection, such as facial photographs and fingerprints, upon entry and departure. This expanded collection aims to bolster U.S. border security and identity verification, removing previous exclusions for certain travelers. Officials state this is a significant step towards fulfilling the Biometric Entry-Exit mandate.
