1918 Minnesota Alien Registration Records

Order Alien Registration Search

The Minnesota Alien Registration of 1918 was conducted to register all foreign born persons who were living in Minnesota, but who had not yet become US citizens. The resident was required to complete a 35 question schedule and to provide much personal information, including kind and amount of property holdings. In addition to the resident's name each entry gives the county and township, village, lumber camp or city in which the form is filed.

The Iron Range Research Center holds microfilmed copies of the original 1918 Alien Registration documents for all 87 Minnesota counties, and has created an index for those entries that can be searched by clicking on the tab above. Copies of documents can be ordered through the website once a record has been identified.
