What it does

The Immigration Document Delivery Accountability Act of 2025 would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue a rule within 180 days of enactment mandating that any immigration-related document sent by mail through the U.S. Postal Service include a trackable accountability measure—such as a USPS barcode or tracking number, or a recipient signature requirement—when mailed from a USCIS facility. The requirement applies only to documents concerning an individual’s immigration status that are determined by the Secretary to be mailed, and does not apply to documents delivered in person. The bill aims to improve accountability and traceability in the mailing of sensitive immigration documents.
