#  Change of Address Form 

 



## Summary

This form is for Harvard international students and scholars to update their U.S. residential address.

Immigration regulations require that all non-U.S. citizens report their residential addresses within 10 days of their entry to the United States and subsequently report any changes of addresses within 10 days to the immigration authorities. This requirement applies to all non-U.S. citizens who intend to stay in the United States for more than 30 days.

Please note that the HIO is not able, at this time, to report or collect address changes to and from other University offices automatically. Therefore, international students and scholars must report their address changes directly to the HIO, ***and*** other appropriate University offices (e.g. term bill office, registrar, etc.).

Please select your visa status below for further information:
