protection identification features. The 

system will not have classified 

information. 

Outside agencies will not have direct 

access to the IDDMP. They will follow 

the current practice for accessing 

physical A-Files, which is to appear in 

person at the local USCIS office. They 

are required per the USCIS Records 

Operations Handbook, to work with 

their local USCIS office to view A-File 

information. After showing proper 

credentials and demonstrating a need to 

know the specific information requested 

in the performance of their official 

duties, the representative will work 

directly with USCIS records personnel 

to view the relevant portions of the AFile. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The A-File records are retained for 75 

years from the date the file is retired to 

the Federal Records Center or date of 

last action (whichever is earlier) and 

then destroyed. C-File records are to be 

destroyed 100 years from March 31, 

1956. Automated master index records 

are permanent and are scheduled to be 

transferred to NARA in 2006. When a 

paper A-File is digitized, the digitized 

A-File becomes the official record and 

maintains the same retention schedule 

as the original paper A-File. Options for 

disposition of paper A-Files that have 

been digitized are currently under 

review.
