The only exceptions are: non-citizens in diplomatic status, and foreign representatives of International organizations of which the United States is a member, such as the United Nations. It is also required that parents or guardians of alien children ander 14 and legal guardians of aliens in custodial care should fill out address reports for such persons." Any alien who is ill may send a friend or relative to obtain the Address Report Card (Form 1-53) for him. After it has been filled out by the non-citizen, the report card should be sent back to the issuing clerk. Aliens who are not in the U.S. during January must report their address within 10 days after their return.
