The Consulate recommends that you keep a current passport and i94 information in a safe place in your home. These documents are provided when applying for a driver’s license or employment. If asked for identification at work or on the street by an officer, you can provide your id card. If they ask for your passport, then you can tell the officer that it is at home.

School officials have confirmed that they are aware of the legal residential status of students from the RMI and FSM: “In the case of an expired passport, it is suggested to seek renewal. None the less, the Compact of Free Association (COFA) Act of 1985 grants unlimited length of stay (live, study, and work in the Unites States).” The United States has reserved the right to set terms and conditions on the nonimmigrant stay of FSM and RMI citizens, but currently and under Compact III they are granted an unlimited length of stay.

It is important to make sure you have a current passport and i94 entry information.  The RMI Consulate has provided information about renewing your passport and retrieving your i94 entry information.  Please contact the Consulate at 479-419-9332 or your local Marshallese community leaders for help. Passport renewal costs between $50-200. The Consulate is considering different solutions for documentation while people wait for their passports to be renewed or issued.
