If you departed by a commercial airline, don’t worry. Your departure can be independently verified and it is not necessary to take any further action. If you still have the boarding pass, hold on. It can help expedite your reentry next time you come back to the U.S.
If you departed by land, you will need to take steps to correct the record. If you do not validate your timely departure from the U.S., the next time you enter the U.S., Customs and Border Protection (CBP) may conclude you remained in the U.S. beyond your authorized stay. If this happens, your entry may not be permitted.
To prove your timely departure from the U.S., send your I-94 with any documentation that proves you left the U.S. to:
DHS – CBP SBU
1084 South Laurel Road, London, KY 40744
