I-94 travel history: how to get it, and what to do when it has gaps

Updated 2026-11-04

Your I-94 travel history is CBP's list of your U.S. arrivals and departures. Look it up on the official site, then drop it here with your booking emails or stamps to get one checked trip list for an N-400, green card or visa form. Free with no account; a clean PDF is $6.99 for 5 exports, paid once.

What the I-94 travel history is

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) runs the official I-94/I-95 website at i94.cbp.dhs.gov. Its View Travel History section shows arrival and departure dates, with the port of entry or exit, for the past ten years. People also call this the CBP travel history or CBP I-94 travel history. CBP says the travel history on that site is a helpful tool for the public and is not an official record for legal purposes. CBP I-94/I-95 FAQ

TravelHistoryTool is not CBP or USCIS and is not affiliated with any government agency. The official lookup is free on the CBP website. Nothing on this page needs our tool.

How to look up your I-94 travel history on the CBP site

1. Go to i94.cbp.dhs.gov and choose View Travel History. 2. Enter your first name, last name, date of birth, passport number and country of citizenship exactly as they appear on the passport you used to enter. CBP suggests the Capture Document option, which reads the machine-readable zone of your passport with your camera. 3. The result lists arrivals and departures with dates and ports. 4. Save or print the page.

Travel on an expired passport within the last ten years is included, CBP says. If nothing comes up, check the spelling and passport number first. CBP also points to its CBP Link mobile app and, if the search still fails, to the CBP Information Center's Ask a Question form. CBP I-94/I-95 FAQ

What the I-94 travel history can leave out

CBP lists the gaps itself: most land border arrivals and departures, land departures into Mexico, closed-loop cruises, airline reservation updates, and I-94s issued by USCIS for changes of status, extensions or adjustment of status may not appear. CBP I-94/I-95 FAQ A blank in the list does not prove you stayed in the country.

Filling the gaps: other records that help

Use as many of these as you can and compare them; none is complete on its own.

Green card holders: use FOIA instead

If you are applying for citizenship on Form N-400, you need your trips outside the U.S. for the statutory period, but CBP won't show your history on the I-94 site once you hold a green card. Request it through CBP's FOIA process instead; our CBP FOIA travel history guide walks through the official route, the information to include and the wait. For trips by car or that never got a stamp, the Google Maps Timeline guide explains how to rebuild them.

Turn your records into a trip list you can check

Copy your I-94 travel history (or save the page as a PDF) and drop it into TravelHistoryTool together with booking emails, passport stamp photos, a FOIA response or your Google Maps Timeline. The tool combines them into one list of trips, most recent first, shows where each row came from and marks missing returns and conflicts in yellow for you to check.

Then pick the view you need: the N-400 calculator for USCIS travel history and days outside the U.S., the UK ILR absence calculator for time away from the UK, or the Schengen calculator for the 90/180-day rule. You can see every result for free; a clean PDF export costs $6.99 for five exports, paid once.

Questions

How do I get my I-94 travel history?
Go to the official CBP I-94/I-95 website, i94.cbp.dhs.gov, choose View Travel History and enter your name, date of birth, passport number and citizenship exactly as on the passport you used. It's free and shows the past 10 years.
Can a green card holder see I-94 travel history?
No. CBP says U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can't retrieve travel history on the I-94 website and should submit a FOIA request. See our CBP FOIA guide.
Is the I-94 travel history the same as USCIS travel history?
No. The I-94 history is CBP's record of arrivals and departures. USCIS travel history usually means the list of trips you write on a form such as the N-400. The CBP record helps you build that list, but you check it against your own records.
Why is a trip missing from my I-94 travel history?
CBP says most land border crossings, land departures into Mexico, closed-loop cruises and some airline updates may not appear. Check passport stamps, bookings and Google Maps Timeline for those trips.
How far back does the I-94 travel history go?
Ten years, including travel on an expired passport, according to CBP.
Is TravelHistoryTool an official CBP service?
No. It's independent software run by one person. It's not affiliated with CBP, USCIS or any government agency and doesn't give legal advice.
Can I turn my I-94 travel history into a trip list here?
Yes. Save or screenshot the history from the CBP site and drop it in with your other records. The tool builds one list of trips, most recent first, with days outside counted, free and without an account.
Can the tool fill trips that are missing from my I-94?
It can't see trips CBP didn't record, but you can drop in booking emails, boarding passes or stamp photos for those trips. They're added to the same list, and any row that still lacks a date stays marked for review.
How much does it cost?
Building the trip list, the totals and a full watermarked PDF preview are free. A clean PDF is part of a one-time $6.99 pack of 5 exports, with no subscription.
Do I need an account?
No. You can upload records, check your trips and see every total without signing up. Buying the PDF pack doesn't need an account either.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Files go to our server only so we can read them, and we delete them as soon as that reading is done. Your editable trip list is stored only in your browser, and a finished PDF is stored for 24 hours.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email support@travelhistorytool.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the full $6.99, even if you already used exports. You don't have to explain why.
