immigration record
Border crossing proof
An immigration record is an official document showing a person's entry into, exit from, or legal status within a country.
These records include visa applications, naturalization papers, passenger manifests, and border crossing logs.
Genealogists use historical immigration records to trace ancestry: I found my great-grandmother's immigration record from Ellis Island.
