What is the purpose of Cbp Form 5106?
CBP Form 5106 is an application that must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Counsel of Immigration. The form establishes eligibility requirements and asks questions regarding your immigration history, legal basis for travel, and criminal history record. The form must be completed correctly, and it must be submitted by a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident before an alien can be issued a visa to travel to the United States. The applicant is responsible for ensuring his or her answers are accurate and complete. These questions can be answered on CBP Form 5106 by completing the “Yes” and “Not Applicable” questions, or by answering the questions yourself with the corresponding answers.
Question 2, “Have you ever committed any felony or been convicted of serious misdemeanor or misdemeanor” is answered with “Yes.” Note, not the “No” and “Not Applicable” questions, these are answers that identify whether you have ever committed a crime or convictions.
Question 3, “Have you ever been convicted of any crime involving violence, violence to a child” is answered with “Yes.” NOTE: if a U.S. citizen or lawful resident convicted of a crime involving violence, violence to children or other crime, he or she is a serious criminal or threat to national security.
Question 4, “Have you ever been convicted of any crime involving drugs” is answered with “Yes.”
Question 5, “Have you ever been convicted of any serious sex offense or sexual abuse” is answered with “Yes.”
Question 6, “Have you ever been convicted of any significant criminal offense (other than a minor non-serious misdemeanor that does not involve violence, violence to a child or sexual abuse) that would be reported to a law enforcement agent?” is answered with “Yes.”
Question 7, “Have you ever been convicted of any serious non-violent crime (other than a minor non-serious misdemeanor that does not involve violence, violence to a child or sexual abuse) that would be reported to a law enforcement agent?” is answered with “No.”
Question 8, “Have you ever been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude” is answered with “Yes.”
Question 9, “Have you ever been convicted of any major property crime (other than a minor non-serious misdemeanor that does not involve violence, violence to a child or sexual abuse) that would be reported to a local, state or federal law enforcement officer?” is answered with “Yes.

What should I do with Cbp Form 5106 when it’s complete?
Once you have received your form from CBP, you can immediately send it on to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for processing. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services-Office of Vital Statistics (OVS-OVS), has completed the CBP Form 5106 and will send it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services-Certificate of Naturalization Processing for processing. As a result, the processing will occur at the same time as the filing of Form I-151 for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service-Vital Statistics.
It is not required to take advantage of this option, however, CBP can waive the payment requirement due to security and law enforcement concerns. It is advised to contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services-Certificate of Naturalization Processing as soon as possible to notify them of any changes in the mailing address for the certificate. In some cases, it may be expedited due to the nature of the security concerns.
As a part of the Certificate of Naturalization process, USCIS will automatically send a copy of the CBP Form 5106 to the U.S. Post Office in any other country where a naturalized citizen resides. In order to receive a U.S. Mail Delivery Certificate for the mailing address in your certificate, you must mail a copy of the Certificate of Naturalization and Form I-151 on Form DS-1029. Once the Certificate of Naturalization has been processed by USCIS, this form can be submitted directly to USCIS with the Certificate of Naturalization. Please allow up to three weeks for the Certificate of Naturalization to be processed at USCIS, if you have already mailed the certificate to other destinations.
Once USCIS completes processing the Certificate of Naturalization, you have the option of filing Form I-151 to request that we mail you your Certificate of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service-Vital Statistics.

Do I need to wait to receive my Form 5106 or a copy of Form 5106 for my case? Yes, you must have all required document(s) available. If you're submitting Form 5106, you must wait until it is received by CBP before filing an CBA request.

What are the different types of Cbp Form 5106?
Here are examples to give you a better idea of how a CBP Form 5106 works and what they look like:
CBP Form 5106: Suspension
CBP Form 5106: Suspension (Fees)
CBP Form 5106: Unnecessary Search
CBP Form 5106: Removal Notice
CBP Form 5106: Unlawful Presence
CBP Form 5106: Reentry/Deportation
CBP Form 5106: Removal
These are only three of the many types of CBP Form 5106!
Is a CBP Form 5106 the same as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Notice of Intent to Deport?
No. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Notice of Intent to Deport is a specific document. CBP Form 5106 is a general CBP Document and is not considered a Notice of Intent by ICE or USB. This helps avoid any conflicts of interest between the two federal agencies.
What is in a CBP Form 5106?
The main purpose of a CBP Form 5106 is to keep our country safe by allowing us to remove individuals who pose a threat to the security of the United States. There are several main components to a CBP Form 5106:
CBP Form 5106: Signature of Registered Agent: The actual Form 5106 Form Number of the CBP in their “Issuing Unit”. The Form 5106 may be printed on one side and read by using the same pen or writing implement. CBP Form 5106:
A single page (1.6″ x 3″)
Covering a single page is the basic CBP Form 5106. It gives the public an opportunity to see the type of person entering our country and how the government collects personal information of this person.
A single page (1.6″ x 3″)
Covering a single page is the basic CBP Form 5106. It gives the public an opportunity to see the type of person entering our country and how the government collects personal information of this person. Document Number: This is the actual filing number of the CBP Form 5106 that has been issued by a government agency and/or the state government. The form may be printed on one side and read by using the same pen or writing implement.
How many people fill out Cbp Form 5106 each year?
There are over 400,000 Border Patrol agents, and about 1.5 million people cross our borders each year without passports. When you see our numbers, the total becomes a lot smaller than 500,000 people per year. But I suspect the number will be much higher than the 500,000 estimates I've heard.
It seems like every year CBP comes up with new excuses and reasons why fewer people would be applying for passports. How will they justify the change to us?
People who get caught crossing the border without a passport are sent back to their home country to be fingerprinted, interviewed, and fingerprinted again before they are able to board a plane to enter another city. That takes between four and five days, and then they need to get passports and return to the crossing. People on the border don't like that.
In the last few years, there have been about 40,000 Border Patrol agents stationed in Mexico, and we have almost 900 more agents stationed in South Texas. The number of people crossing the border illegally each day has gone from 500,000 to 700,000 people per year.
With so many Border Patrol agents, will it also take longer to process those people?
Yes. The way it works and the way it operates with respect to the processing of people crossing the desert to enter another country is similar to the way it operates with respect to people crossing the ocean, whether it's from Mexico or other places.
How is the process different this year compared to last year? How long is the process if you just bring your driver's license, credit card, or passport into the processing center?
Once the documents are verified by an agent, they take them through the paper, photograph, and fingerprinting process. There are two types of checks conducted at the checkpoint. The first type of check involves the person being screened, with the person's hand scanned into a computer in their own image. The second type of check involves an agent examining the person.
The people that are being screened by a CBP officer look quite a bit different from what you, or I can see from behind a car or bus window. One of the first things that people notice when getting through Customs is that there is nothing that corresponds with our concept of human behavior.
“It's like watching a movie and someone turns down their TV and asks them to turn it back up.
Is there a due date for Cbp Form 5106?
CBP's Form 5106 is used for determining the amount of the 1,000.00 penalty/fines. Due dates for other information returns can vary depending on when the information on the forms was submitted, when the violation occurred, and the date when enforcement action is taken. To get an idea of a due date for other types of federal documents, you can visit the U.S. Department of State website.
How does the CBP determine when CBP's liability is satisfied?
Every CBP officer on the U.S. Border Patrol will meet with a field office for a face-to-face interview to determine the liability, if any, and the amount of the fine/fine credit. CBP's Field Office will not give a written statement of the amount of credit until the officer has completed the face-to-face interview, if applicable. If the officer returns to his/her station after meeting with the Field Office to make a notation of the amount of credit that was made, the officer will be required to sign Form 5106.
Where can I get more information regarding the CBP penalties?
CBP is committed to providing information to comply with the Federal Financial Management Act (FFA) and its implementing regulations and implementing guidance on CBP Form 5106. Visit us at for more information about BMA compliance.
